50 Must-See Teacher Blogs Chosen By You | Edudemic - 0 views

  • In a world of social media and connectivity, what role does a blog play for teachers? Is it worth having one?
  • . It’s a place for authors to craft their thoughts in long-form statements that wouldn’t be possible or appropriate for social networks. It’s also become quite apparent that some of the best articles I’ve read all year were on teacher blogs.

Learning About Blogs FOR Your Students- Part I: Reading | Langwitches Blog - 1 views

  • When digging a little deeper he/she might recognize that blogging is more about WRITING than technology. But let’s roll blogging back even a little further and we will discover that blogging starts with READING!
  • Blogging is about writing, but it begins with reading. Teachers recognize that in order to teach about blogs, they have to read good blogs. Most want to jump immediately in and have their students start blogging, sit back and expect students to write quality blogs. It won’t happen. Teachers need to take time in reading other blogs, before they expect to be able to lead their students in quality blogging.
  • Start with your PASSION! Passion is what will make you read when you are too tired or have too many other things to do.
