Educations Ups and Downs

http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/teacherbeat/

This blog is on the political aspects of teaching. It’s no secret that teaching has had its ups and down as far as job placement, and the budget in the schooling systems. This blog has given me tons of information as far as laws, budget increase/decrease, unanswered questions, you name it politically and they have an article about it.

Helpful Pointers

This is a blog that I have been following for a couple of days now, and I have found it very informative. Going into the educational field can be an overwhelming transition. This blog has given me great pointers of what it takes to be a successful teacher. I have valued what this blog has opened my eyes to because of a lot of the comments. The comments are teachers giving their feedback on how they feel certain suggestions, ideas, technology, etc. works inside the classroom. I feel that this is a good blog to share with the rest of you guys because we are all at the beginning stage, and as I stated in my first blog post teaching is all about sharing ideas among your colleagues because at the end of the day it’s about the children, and we as teachers, it’s our job to implement different type of learning techniques to suit all students. I’m still figuring out this whole blog experience, but as I experimenting I’m finding them very informative. There is a blog for everyone, everything, every subject, it has encouraged me to possibly use blogs as an outlet for the students and parents. I would blog to show parents the highlights of my classroom and different ways that parents can help their child succeed in education. Sharing tips with parents it extremely important because education doesn’t stop when the bell rings, parents have to participate in helping their child comprehend as well.

Preach2Teach

Hey future  teachers! I feel as though good teachers steal good ideas, and use them as their own! So let's help each other out and share classroom techniques, or just good ol teaching tools that you have learned, experienced, or created!!
