D& E Jackie D

 

• D.  Locate and list two examples of educational blogs that are created by teachers, schools or educational organizations for teachers, students or parents.   What is the purpose of each, and why did you choose these? The first example of an educational blog that I chose was Edutopia. Edutopia is an educational blog that is created for teachers. It is full of evidence and practitioner based learning strategies that are intended to improve education. I chose this one because it has been referenced in our class this semester. It is full of helpful and current tips for educators today. The second one I chose is TeacherTube. This blog is full of educational resources for both teachers and students. I chose it because it includes videos, audio files and documents. 
• E. How could you use blogging in teaching? One way that I could use blogging would be to share information, resources, and supplementary videos, interactive links, etc. about content that is currently being learned. Students and parents could go on the blog page to review and practice learning skills. The page could also allow parents to understand and reinforce currently learning skills at home.
