Here are two blogs I follow on occasion. I say on occasion, because I lose track of large chunks of time if I go to either of these sites. Both are more technology based. The first is Richard Byrne’s Free Technology for Teachers. Whether you are looking for interactive maps, instant feedback solutions, or tips and tricks to work with the many Google apps sooner or later Richard will post something to make your day that much better. If you are looking for information to setup a blog or you desire to branch out and create a website, click the tab Creating Blogs and Websites. It has plenty of resources to help you choose the right tool to get off to a good start. The other blog is Gary Johnston’s Teaching Ahead of the Curve. His blog is geared toward ed tech, science teachers, and math teachers. He gets quite excited about curriculum development and assessments. The February 17, 2013 post is actually a repost of his article from Fractus Learning, 6 Tips for Quality Student Blogging. I have to admit, I too have struggled with the content quality seen in some students' blog posts. The tips are applicable to me as well as I work on finding a voice for this blog. I appreciated his insights.
