Blog Review

It is really difficult to say a particular blog that I have found useful in the development of my practice, but I have found a few that have definitely aided this. What I enjoy most about finding these blogs is that there is so much I have yet to discover and through the journeys of others; others whom I know very little about, I can improve my own practice.

The first blog I will introduce you to will be Vicky Davis – who is an award winner teacher, her blog is called ‘The Cool Cat Teacher.’ This is packed full of all sorts of ideas such as ‘app smashing’ to ‘the school teacher that help Charles Schulz see the light,’ very useful for new ways of engaging students.

Cool Tools for 21st Century Learners created by Susan Oxnevad – this blog has an array of technologies and tips on keeping up with the times. The great thing about this blog with every article there are recommendations to other articles that are link in subject matter; very interesting with fresh ideas.

Grind Jumper’s blog is a collaborative blog and predominately contains information about 3D application within teaching and learning. They have some great programme recommendations and I particularly like the article ‘Immerse into Mobile Games for Fitness,’ the concept of ‘walking meetings’ intrigues me.

So here are my recommended blogs; I am certain there are many more out there, it is just finding the time to read them all. Is that even possible?
