Blogs are a wonderful way of discovering education news, ideas and new web links. I’ve been reading blogs for quite a while now, and I use Google Reader to do this. Each day, I visit the Google Reader site to see what my favourite websites and education blogs have to share… it’s much easier than having to go around the different websites manually.
To add new sites to Google Reader’s list, I just add the RSS feed. It’s not as difficult as it sounds. To find out more about RSS, watch this handy video:
- Teaching News – Of course, this site should definitely be in your RSS feed! Our blog has the latest teaching news, links and ideas, as well as the archives from Andrew Ross’ fantastic Primary Teacher UK site, and my own Teaching Blog.
- ICT in my Classroom – Tom Barrett always writes lots of top quality posts about his use of ICT at his school.
- DougBelshaw.com – Doug also writes about his own work in schools, as well as his thoughts on technology and productivity.
- Tim Rylands – Tim is famous for using the computer game Myst in the classroom. However, he has MANY other ideas and wonderful resources to share. Highly recommended.
- Primary Resources Blog – Find out the latest news and updates to the wonderful ‘Primary Resources‘ site.
- Sparklebox Blog – Sparklebox is an incredibly popular site and this blog is a great way to find out about the resources and the latest additions.
- Teaching Ideas New Additions – This page (which has it’s own RSS feed) highlights the most recent ideas and resources on the Teaching Ideas site.
- Teaching and Learning Blog – Matt Lovegrove is a primary teacher and he uses this blog to share his experiences in the classroom.
- Teaching with Technology – Steve Kirkpatrick is also a teacher who writes about his work in school and his uses of technology to enhance learning.
- MrWarner.com – This is my own teaching blog, where I’ve been sharing my own classroom experiences and recommended ICT tools to try with your own pupils.
There are lots of other wonderful education blogs… far too many to list in one post. So, I’ll share some more of my favourite blogs another time!
If you have a good education blog to share, please leave a comment or send me an email! Thanks.
