    This is an excellent list of 100 blogs written by high school teachers. Many interesting blogs that would interest anyone in education and especially middle/high school educators. Blogs cover various educational topics and there is definitely something for everyone!

    Do agree or disagree that the resource can be used efficiently in your own future classroom? Explain why or why not. I agree that I can use this resource in the future of my own classroom. This resource gives great ideas on how to use blogging effectively and ways to get students blogging in the classroom. I like how it is organized by regions of the United States. Do you believe the resource is mostly for teacher use, student use, or both? Explain your perceptions constructively. I believe this blog is mostly for teacher use, but its use for teachers explains how teachers can allow students to get into blogging or gives resources to help with their classroom teaching. Are you aware of any simililar resources that should be considered? If so, what are those resources. I'm sure there are other blogs that compile great blogging resources, but I have not come across such a compiled list.

    This is an intriguing list and looks like the various blogs deserve time to be looked at more. It is always interesting (if not therapeutic) to read from others "in the trenches." Two that I enjoyed reading were "TeachBad" and "TeachPaperless." Some good comic relief was provided, as well as some interesting ideas! I'm wouldn't say this site is really useful for students, but then again, maybe they'd be nicer to us if they read stuff like this. ::smile::

    This resource is an awesome compilation of great teacher blogs from around the country and world. It can totally be used as a resource for students as they begin to learn how to blog or for those aspiring to be on that list to reach a little higher! This resource is mainly one for teacher use, but all the ideas inside these blog links makes it readily apparent and available to be used in a current classroom. There are a number of similar lists out there (take a look and blog the title and a few come up) so this is not a one of a kind list; however, it is expansive and does provide a good list of HS teachers to follow and their regions. Cool idea for sure! How many of these are you going to follow now?
  • Amy Christian on 13 Nov 12
     
    Randon, I'm sure I'll end up following quite a few. Unfortunately I haven't had time to delve too deeply into the list. It is on my to do list though! :)

    Excellent source for teachers. I shared this with our English teacher who does things with blogs and wiki's in her classroom. She was very excited for new material to use. There are many different and unique topics in this site which she had never seen before.

    Hi, Shane, cool blog. I especially like the article that you linked to about the BYOB program. I have a BYOD program in my own classroom. Kids still aren't supposed to have their devices in school, but my room is a technology haven. I've been somewhat forced into it since my district isn't 1:1 so I have students supplement our school technology with their own devices. It seems to work fairly well, and once you establish expectations, it probably lessens the disruptions to class time form technology.

  • But after seeing how easy the iPads are to use -- kids become their own experts by getting answers to their questions through YouTube videos or educational apps -- Pole changed her tune. Now she plans to get schooled on the iPad herself.

      This makes me wonder what they are really finding out answers to.  Also, is that the only thing they are using the iPads for?  Really!

      "More fun" that sounds like the iPads are being used for educational purposes for sure!  They must be a tool that connects directly to the curriculum.  Either the student does not get this or the reporter failed to understand why they are using iPads.

      No surprise there with the designation, but really - most are purchasing these devices without the proper pieces in place. Sad that it has taken the ed world by storm, but there is no idea how to actually include this in instruction...read on!

    This is a great article looking over the iPad craze and the Flipped Education idea in Minnesota schools.  It still makes me wonder what we are trying to teach out students by using these devices - What is the educational goal?  This article also points out the need for an investment in teacher training as an essential part of a technology program.  Check out the sticky notes and highlighting for more information.

    This blog post is from a woman who decided to make her own list of the most useful web 2.0 tools in the Elementary School Setting. If you want to see a list made from a teacher herself, this will give you better insight on which tools work the best!
  • Amy Grell on 14 Nov 12
     
    As an Elementary Ed major I am grateful for this list of Web 2.0 applications that has the elementary classroom in mind. The tools are fitting for both teachers and students-teachers can modernize their teaching by integrating and including technology in every day lessons and communication, and students use the tools to complete assignments. I was excited to see that I only recognize 3 of the 10 resources on the list; it reminds me that there are so many apps and tools out there! Thanks for a link to great tools.

    This is a great blog. I am not very familiar with wikis and I often wonder why I would use one in education. This blog lists some great ways to incorporate a school wiki. This is something that I could see myself using with my community college students and instructors.

    This blog lists top documentary films for teachers or students to watch. Teachers can use these documentaries as a means of providing more information to students. The documentaries may not be suitable for all ages.
  • kirstinthompson on 13 Nov 12
     
    This site could have great potential, especially for high school science and social studies classes, based on the topics of the movies listed. It is great that you can watch the documentaries immediately and for free. Students might find this a useful resource for another type of research materials for projects. In my subject areas, I wouldn't use most of these, because we usually need to watch things in the target language, but some of the cultural topics might be relevant, such as some French speaking African countries, art, etc. I haven't ever thought to look for free documentaries online, I suppose there are more sites to check out!
  • Ann Hansen on 13 Nov 12
     
    Wow, what a great site. This is something that I think can really come in handy. There are often times when I or my fellow teachers are looking for something to help expand understanding or make connections with something they are learning. There is a large variety of categories to pick from and not just science and social studies. I think this definitely is a site for teachers, but I could see students using this site too for school projects. I'm going to be passing this one onto my fellow teachers. Thanks Kelsey for a useful resource.

    This site is a great resource to help keep up on what is going on in education at all levels. I especially liked the recent article entitled, "5 Things Teachers Want Parents to Know". I really don't think this site is just for teachers but I think teachers will be the ones to use the site most. Teachers are very busy and don't always have time to read several news feeds to get our educational news, so its nice that its all right here.

    Teachers need structure, kids need structure, everyone needs a virtual egg timer!  This is a simple timer that works great with an interactive white board.  Type in any amount of time in the box and click 'start.'  Kids can easily look up and see how much time they have left and/or wait for the buzzer.  Works great for playing games like charades, etc.  Also worked well with high school students and timing speeches.
