Reflections on Teaching

For blogging day, I’m going to try to recommend blogs I haven’t pushed before…

Edublogs

Kindergarten’s 3 R’s: Respect, Resources, & Rants

I like this lady. She teaches kindergarten, but she is NOT Miss Nancy. He wit is sharp, and her observations keen. Read about her daugther’s first day of middle school in Texas. They have a lot of military bases in San Antonio. I can only hope that kids not in M. Guhlin’s district.

Lisa’s Lingo

A FANTASTIC educator, and I love how she both is collaborative, and willing to try new technology. Very impressive lady (fantastic podcasting with inclusion special ed students), and what an open mind. New to edublogging, so go on over and introduce yourself.

el/ed/tech

This blog from Mr. Circe is new to my feed. I guess he heard me on Ed Tech Talk, then became a twitter follower, so I figured I check out his blog. Nice tech links. I’m looking forward to the start of the school year to see what he does with the kids.

Kobus van Wyk – Blog

Okay this is the exception to my rule. I’ve pushed Kobus van Wyk’s blog before but I don’t think he’s getting readers (a technorati search shows most of the links to him are from my blog and one other blog in South Africa), and he should. We talk about adding diversity, this is our chance to prove it! He’s a damn good writer and he is a very interesting position (ICT implementation/administration: sorta like M. Guhlin). If you want to find out what’s happening with ICT implementation in schools in developing countries, this is where it’s at. Please read this blog!

Non edublogs Because to think outside the box, you need to get out of the box, here is some reading to refresh your palate after spending the day trying to keep up with M.Guhlin’s posts in your reader (does that man have a job, does he sleep?)

Photojojo

Photojojo takes your digital photography to a whole new level. Things I NEVER would have thought of doing became things I ended up doing. Wow!

Public Agenda Online

Yeah, this is not an obscure site (neither was Photojojo) but this is about getting folks out of what you normally read. So, in an effort to get you reading something besides education, introduce yourself to general public policy (not just NCLB, because there is more wrong with the world than just that). This is chalk full of policy goodness, and yes they do have studies on education so we can all start quoting something besides Ed Sector.

saladbar: Hell hath no fury as a woman without hot water

Since I was introduced to John at Rejecting Your Reality by a friend of his, I thought I would try to do the same for a RL friend of mine who has a pretty funny blog. Edublog world, this is Carrie a working mother of two girls in Albany/Berkeley. This post really sums up the feeling all of us have about lackadaisical repairmen.
