Blog Post #13

What Did I Leave Out?

A blog post assignment that could be used in future EDM310 classes would be for them to find at least two teachers that are in the subject area that the student plans to teach. The students will need to check and make sure that the teachers they choose post often and are currently posting. This will give the students a chance to follow a blog that may be more interesting. The students will then post each week about something they found interesting in the blog post and what they may use in their future classroom.

One way that most students will look for the blog is to search Google. I typed in "Elementary School teacher blog." One site that I found is Top 25 Elementary School Teacher Blogs of 2012. One of the blogs that I found interesting is 4 the Love of Teaching. The two current blogs that she has posted are guest bloggers that post on their own blogs that had their own different ideas of activities to do in the classroom. These two blogs have great lessons that you can use in your classroom and I will probably use a couple of them in my own classroom.

The other blog that I found interesting is Busy Bees. This blog is by two teachers: Robynn Drerup, a Kindergarten teacher, and SueBeth Arnold, a second grade teacher. Many of their blogs are different activities you can do in the classroom. The two most recent posts that are posted on their blog is from a conference that one of the teachers went to. From what she has posted, it seems like she is going to take away many ideas that were given at the conference.

This assignment is similar to C4Ts but I would have enjoyed having this assignment than the way the C4T is set up.
