Reaching out

Tonight I decided would be the night that I would begin to study other blogs and see the topics that were dear to them.

The first site that I came across that struck some interests was http://www.learningfacilitated.com/2011/09/an-audience-of-many/.  On Learning Facilited, I saw a posting that was made recently about technology in the classroom.  I thought, "Wow! This is exactly what I am currently pursuing."  The website suggested that one way to get their students interested in blogging was to challenge them with a 10 week semi-annual blogging challenge.  What a wonderful way to get students involved into blogging!

The second blog I stumbled across was http://2care2teach4kids.blogspot.com/2011/09/free-all-about-me-activity.html?showComment=1315879274209#c2569800791347759893.  This site is intended for pre-school teachers, but they offered a lot of useful tips and free downloads.  I was particularly interested in the free download that provided a template for "All About Me," a common topic for beginning of the year introductories.

And finally the last blog that caught my interest was http://www.teachingblogaddict.com/2011/05/top-10.html?showComment=1315879741559#c1074900525177663237.  Their current posting suggested that bloggers centered around education provide a list of their top ten blog sites and why they were on this list.  I would imagine being picked on someone's top ten blog sites would be an absolute honor.  

I found all three of these sites to be a great resource for future projects and provided a wealth of information. These are only three sites that I checked into tonight.  Their is truly a world of blogs out there.  This venture is only the beginning.
