The good ones!!! (in my opinion, anyway)
Mrs. Ripp's Blog took on the challenge many everyday problems from being bored in class to modeling positive behaviors and brought about a perspective to dealing with them. I really like how she handles classroom management and her teaching philosophy.
Josh Stumpenhorst's Blog not only showcases the work of a Teacher of the Year but viewpoints that may be against the norm and challenges some may be fearful to take.
Collaboreyes was well liked for the model it provides to connect students throughout the world. I think this would be a modern day version of the pen pals that we had as children. I loved writing to my pen pal and sending the letter through snail mail! I would wait excitedly for a response. Now students get instant gratification!!!
Mrs. Schur's Blog included posts with all types of technology incorporated.
Aviva Dunsiger's Blog showed examples of using technology within first and second grade classrooms. The videos uploaded sparked great interest and just what should be done more often in the classroom and what even very young students are capable of!
Mr. Avery's Blog is up there with Aviva Dunsiger’s blog for the same reasons.
Blogs can be an innovative and creative tool to use in
any classroom. I can see the benefits for the students in
all types of classrooms. Students young and old, from inner-city neighborhoods to suburbs, and from all walks of life could increase new literacy skills by using blogging within the classroom.
I liked the collaboreyes blog. It was neat to see students around the world around. I think it would be great for students to learn that children from other countries are just like them.
