Open Thread: Your Favorite Teacher Blogs, by Subject Matter?
with 53 comments
Print This Post
As the title says, short and sweet: What are your favorite blogs for 21st century teaching, by subject matter?
As a classroom teacher myself with a 3/4 teaching load plus unofficial tech coordinator duties for k-12 at my school, I don’t have much time this year to stay abreast of all the great teacher bloggers out there. I think this thread can be useful for others like me, for teachers looking for others in their subject area, and for professional development types looking for models to share in their workshops.
So real simple, again: At a minimum, list the blog name, blog address, teacher name, and content area, and age group they teach (primary, middle, secondary is fine).
I have a project in mind that will use your recommendations to, I hope, move things forward.
And if you’re a teacher yourself, don’t be shy: list yourself 
- Open Thread: Wordling Campaign Speeches: Write Your Best Caption
- Open Thread: Questioning Global Collaboration: Does Flat Fall Flat for Teens?
- An Approach to Teacher Merit Pay I Could Live With

Well, Clay, I’ve been called many things over the years, but shy is definitely not one of them!
I’m Shelley, and I work in college counseling at an independent K12 school in the US.
The students I work with most directly are juniors and seniors in high school. I teach a seminar course that deals with self-reflection and the college search process.
I twitter about the day-to-day as “butwait,” and have started to post longer, more coherent (usually, anyway) thoughts at my blog:
http://relaxnoreally.blogspot.com
Thanks for doing this… I keep wishing for a giant yellow pages of school folk who blog and/or twit. Maybe a wiki, ala http://twitterpacks.pbwiki.com/? Always interested to hear your ideas as they develop!

Ok, I’m breaking all “humble teacher rules” by listing myself here, but you said to!
First, though, is my dear mentor – Diane Cordell’s – blog
Journeys – http://dmcordell.blogspot.com
Teacher/librarian – always has great pictures and poetry in addition to her inspirational words
Another great one for resources is Liz Davis’ blog
The Power of Educational Technology – http://edtechpower.blogspot.com
Liz always has great screencasts and tips for new tools.
Oh and here’s my blog (just started in Jan 08 – I’m new at this!)
Reflection 2.0 – http://googtweetblog.edublogs.org
I’m a elementary/middle school keyboarding (computer) teacher, technically a business education teacher.

I’ve been blown away with what Karl Fisch, Ann Smith and Maura Moritz are doing at Arapahoe High School in Littleton, Colorado. Take a look at their most recent project involving Daniel Pink and his book A Whole New Mind. Pretty “mind blowing”! They have their students doing all kinds of incredible things with web 2.0 tools and authentic learning!! Yep, you might recognize his name – he made the very viral web vid “Shift Happens”.

I’m terrible at picking favorites, so it’s a few I think of off the top of my head.
I guess I’ll list myself … I’m a high school history teacher, currently teaching US History and “World” History (it’s really Euro+ or Western Civ in terms of content) in Virginia. The blog is “Where’s the Teacher?” http://invisibleteacher.blogspot.com
I’m a big fan of “Millard Fillmore’s Bathtub” by Ed Darrell (http://timpanogos.wordpress.com/). The blog is upper level history/social science education focused, kind of a broad range of topics.
Also there’s “Speaking of History” which is mostly a blog-of-podcasts but great stuff by an 8th grade US History teacher. http://speakingofhistory.blogspot.com/

Hi Clay.
I am one-half of a team that teaches American Studies to juniors at the HS level. This was our first year blogging as a team, and referencing your (and many others’) site(s), we found it really resonated with our kids.
Here’s the address: http://oripsolob.blogspot.com
If anyone is interested, we (the teachers) maintain the “class” blog, while each of our 40 students (linked to in the right-hand column) maintains an individual blog. The content of the posts is supposed to be relevant to class, but anything else on their blogs is personalized to their own tastes in music and photos, etc. This approach seems to make them more likely to post.
They are required to post 1x week and comment on a peer’s blog 1x week. There’s no requirement to comment on the teacher’s blog — it’s extra credit of course!
Thanks for the inspiration and congrats on your recent nuptials!

Hi!
My name is Lisa Stevens and I am Primary Language Learning and International coordinator at Whitehouse Common Primary School (www.whitehousecommon.org.uk) in England. I teach Spanish to children aged 4-11 here and at another local school. I’m also involved in training and helping other schools to implement the Primary Languages entitlement and speak about PLL and International links (as an eTwinning ambassador) at local and sometimes national conferences.
My blog is called ¡Vámonos! – http://lisibo.blogspot.com
I’d also recommend Joe Dale’s blog Integrating ICT into the MFL classroom – http://joedale.typepad.com
Joe teaches middle school French (aged 9-13) on Isle of Wight in UK and is a techno whizz! There’s not much that gets past him!
I’d also recommend EdTechRoundup – http://edtechroundup.com –
We(I’m one of them!) are a bunch of like-minded, mainly UK-based, educators interested in educational technology. We produce a regular podcast with the aim of spreading good practice and innovative tools in education.
Pedagogically-sound Open Source and Web 2.0 solutions figure quite high on our list of priorities. Please get involved in our del.icio.us network and interact with us via Twitter!
Might come back with a few more soon!

Well Clay, looks like I too must pull a Kate Olson and list my blog for the following reasons:
1. Your blog is showcased as a 21st Century Teacher
2. Your “Wedding 2.0″ is a feature story
3. and… my blog profiles 21 Century Teachers … says so right in the title. The 21st Century teachers showcased in my blog are only some of those that I admire and read. My Google Reader is exploding.

Hey Clay,
Interesting post…I’m looking forward to seeing the names that pop up here.
My favorite blog of late is The Line by Dina Strasser. Dina is a seventh grade English teacher in Upstate New York, and I love her provocative thinking about the interactions between technology and humanity.
She’s a thoughtful “critical friend” for those of us who have embraced technology completely.
Here’s the address:

Since you’re asking for it, I may recommend my own site at http://www.edutagger.com for K-12 social bookmarking. The idea is that those links and resources that are more popular float to the top of the list (like Digg.com). The whole concept is designed to save time, which we all know is so important to teachers.

Clay, Many of the ones I read are already listed but as a High School English teacher, I am looking for resources that are really about high school teaching and particularly in the light of recent curriculum changes here in Australia, I need blogs that look at cross- curricular teaching and focus on tech in the classroom.
My first port of call is always Jo Mcleay’s http://www.theopenclassroom.blogspot.com.- a fantastic point for connecting to others, to new ideas and for some solid discussion of pedagogy. I also enjoy the broad knowledge of Judy O’Connell’s http://heyjude.wordpress.com/- she is always exploring new fields and willing to question the kinds of changes we are all rushing towards.
Sue Waters has two blogs http://aquaculturepda.edublogs.org/ and http://theedublogger.edublogs.org/ both of which are full of really practical how-to’s and some really good reading about Educational Issues.
I also enjoy Chris Betcher’s http://betch.edublogs.org/. My blog roll in my reader is huge and different bloggers have a different voice to raise on different areas, but all are great to get you thinking and doing.

Glenn Weibe (wee-bee) is a social studies tech integrationist who works for ESSDACK. He has a terrific blog called History Tech http://historytech.wordpress.com/
Kevin Honeycutt is also one of my favorite buddies in real life, working as a general technology integrationist at ESSDACK. He’s got GREAT stuff for teachers and techies alike, bringing a human side to all the geekiness: http://kevinhoneycutt.org/
Finally, there’s Jess McCulloch who teaches Chinese in small-town Australia. She’s got a blog called TechnoLOTE which makes technology integration accessible to even the beginning teachers! http://www.technolote.com/ (fyi to US teachers: LOTE = Languages Other Than English).
Finally, last but not least, is Michelle Eckstein in Boulder who writes Gifted And Talented in the 21st Century, a MUST-READ blog for every general education teacher. http://talentedandgifted.net/

Clay:
First of all, thanks for the comment on the latest blog post. I think we are more alike than different. I do agree that the current structure of education has outlived its usefulness, but I also believe that we can’t move from complete structure to complete openness. There has to be a intermediary period where we can advance the ideas of openness, collaboration and education happening in places outside of a school.
Being a high school teacher, I understand that structure well and see how it supports mediocre students and teachers and know that it needs a major overhaul. Do we make a gradual change or blow the system up? I am in favor of the gradual change, but having said that, I am frustrated by the rate of that change. I am now trying to live by the words of Gandi’s quote, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”
My blog is part of that, so is the Global Communications program at Capuchino High School. The Digital Bridge program was part as well, but none of these are moving the agenda fast enough for me. So, if I want the system to change, I have to change it myself. That is what I am doing now, we’ll see how it works!
Thanks for your voice on this matter! The conversation and the exchange of ideas keeps all of us engaged in the process!

There are so many great blogs that I try to read regularly. After reading this post, I have to add 8-10 more! But a couple of my absolute favorites weren’t mentioned, so I will add them.
1. Graham Wegner describes himself this way: “An Aussie primary school educator involved in technology leadership at his school, always looking to learn and discuss breaking issues.”
His blog is Teaching Generation Z – gwegner.edublogs.org.
Definitely worth a look. Great ideas and straight forward, honest opinions.
2. Suzie Vesper from NZ says … “I’m a primary school teacher working in Wellington. I’m currently an ICT facilitator and this blog is a place to highlight the work being done in our cluster.”
Sharing the Addiction – http://petoneforeshore.blogspot.com
She just seems to have one fantastic idea after another. I always get great stuff from her blog.
