Educational Blogs--My Top 10 List

Everyone has a top 10 list of something. Ever since the famous talk show host, David Letterman, created the reverse version of a top 10 list with varied topics, I have loved the concept. Therefore, I have decisively created my top 10 list of educational blogs. Keeping in mind that I have experiences with technology and teaching, I have focused on some blogs that discuss technology in education. This list is by no means exhaustive and has a lot to do with my personal interests, which I feel all educators can relate too in some way.

The only difference with my top 10 is that they are not necessarily in an particular order. I may choose to change what I read over time, so exclusion does not mean complete obscurity forever. Again, this is strictly an educational blog list.

This Blog by Tim Wilson gives practical advice on how to use technology in education.

2. Teach42 Education and Technology
This Blog goes everywhere from YouTube.com to the world of digital storytelling to increase interest in technology and education.

This Blog works with the concept of teachers helping each other professionally through webcasts done mainly by K-13 teachers.

4. Kathy Schrock's Kaffeeklatsch
Kathy Shrock has already done so much for education with innovative ideas, lesson plans, and learning guides, which makes her blog only more interesting to read.

5. Reflections of a Techie
I get the impression that this is an everyday classroom with each post. The teacher sends us somewhere spectacular in each blog submission.

6. The Tech Savvy Educator
The blog at hand takes you great advice from a 3rd grade teacher who uses technology regularly.

An innovator in the world of research and blogging, David Warlick, is a master at helping others through his blogs and online creations.

9. Always Learning
A global perspective of using teaching and technology abroad is discussed on this intriguing blog.

10. 6/7C Blog & Podcast
This is a classroom blog in action. Adults and children can learn lessons about various topics on this blog. This was intriguing because I have taught both of these grade levels (6th and 7th).
