A blog is a website that focuses on a certain topic, whether it be teaching, fashion or mommy blogs. They then make posts about these topics where others that are interested can go back and read their posts. Blogging is a tool that can be useful as a future teacher because fellow educators can share their ideas and thoughts with others. Maybe you are stuck in a rut of not be able to come up with any interesting activities for your classroom, this is where a teaching blog would come in handy because other teachers have posted fun activities that they have done in their classroom.
Two blogs I have found that are perfect for fellow educators are "Ms. Cassidy's Classroom Blog" https://mscassidysclass.edublogs.org/and "Regurgitated Alpha Bits" http://regurgitatedalphabits.blogspot.com/. The purpose of the first blog is to see inside another educators classroom. This is perfect for me because she is a first-grade teacher which is the age group I want to work with. Cassidy also has guest speakers on her blog that you can learn from as well. The second blog gives you tips and tricks of working in an elementary school with videos and short blog posts.
I am really interested in the blog you mentioned called "Ms. Cassidy's Classroom Blog." I think it is a great idea that her blog allows you to see inside another educators classroom. I am going to have to check that out!
ReplyDeleteThe blogs you listed sound like something I want to check out!
