This week, we looked at some of the best
education blogs. One of the blogs I
looked at was “Busy Teacher” by Andrei Zakhareuski. Andrei founded and runs the Busy Teacher
blog, which is a blog for free resources and lesson plans. His blog not only has worksheets, posters,
and practice pages but articles and book recommendations related to educational
topics. This blog was a great place for
easy to find resources. It has over
16,880 worksheets and lesson plans for free with no registration required. The thing I was most excited to see was
Halloween curriculum connections. These
worksheets were fun, interactive, and festive.
One question to consider when looking at this blog is how can you use
these materials in your own classroom and setting.
The other blog that I looked at was the “Hack
Learning Blog” created by Mark Barnes.
This blog contained posts about increasing student engagement,
rethinking assessments, and improving school leadership. This website had a lot of great articles on a
variety of topics, including How to Discuss Politics and Other Sensitive Issues
in School, Reimaging Traditional Homework, and 3 Ways to Turn Failure into
Success. This website would be very
helpful in finding applicable articles to my Master’s classes. After looking at this blog, I wondered how
often these articles are updated and how many people are contributing to this
site?
