Fascinating. I had no idea that teacher's were so into blogging? Not only are they into it, but they are good at it! It was amazing how much information I was able to gather in about twenty minutes of blog surfing. Of course, some stuff didn't apply to me, but some of the blogs put into words things that I have been feeling for years! They agree with me! How cool is that? They also have great ideas that I, as a student and inexperienced teacher, can totally benefit from! Yay! :)
Some of my favorites were rebeccablood.net and doyle-sciencetech.blogspot.com (On this one, check out the Dr. Seuss as science teacher blog! It's something I think could be useful in ELA classes too with a few adaptations)
I think when I come across a teacher blog I marvel at the fact that they had time to write it! While researching I had a hard time finding HS ELA and technology blogs. What I had most inspired by were the math and science teachers who were incorporating reflective writing and multimodal responses. If all subjects embrace this realm of response, it would make our job easier, of course, but even more important, it would validate our implementation of technologies. It's a great idea to collaborate. Share the wealth and the work, the students can only benefit from this partnership.
