BlamSpot - Blog by Bill Lammers, a Language Arts and Theater Technology teacher at George Washington High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. An insightful, creative, and humorous look at education and life.

I love the BlamSpot, he has such a great way of presenting information, awesome sense of humor.

It's like a comic just for teachers! It's nice to see that Bill Lammers is from Cedar Rapids. His ideas are presented in logical and originals ways. The September 14 post on creativity is particularly refreshing. This seems like the kind of blog I could get used to checking in on every once in a while. Thanks for sharing!

To The Lesson is a teacher blog that is full of classroom ideas, organizational tips, management tips, etc. that can be helpful to use as ideas for any classroom!

This blog's simplicity is what I liked best about it. It shows great pictures and is organized in a way that easy to understand. Also, it gives great ideas for early education. I plan on teaching k-2 so this could give me great ideas for fun lessons!

I found the first few posts in this blog to be really interesting, although probably not very useful for me as a future teacher. I don't know much about Montessori teaching or schools. Based on my initial impressions, and the fact that I fully plan on being a "messy classroom" teacher (lots of differentiation, lots of AT (I'm a special education minor in addition to being an ed. tech. minor), I'm not sure how much my classroom philosophy and organizational principals could relate to this teacher's. A very different perspective, to be sure! If I ever have free time (maybe over winter break!?) I'd like to read more about what this Montessori stuff is all about; I'm especially interested in the value of the "Practical Life" work this teacher is doing?? Totally different than anything I've seen in my educational training. Thanks for sharing. :)

This is a great, but controversial article about iPads being used in schools.  Read between the lines and see what you think!

**This is an "extra" bookmark I wanted to include because I thought it related to the modules we were working on.** Be sure to watch the video & listen to what the interviewees have to say. It will make you think! Is technology complicating our lives? Are people evolving to be addicted to technology? Does technology distract us? The "story highlights" on the left side of the article are also very interesting.
