Scholastic magazine has announced its Top 20 list of education-related blogs, which includes, at No. 4, a blog written by two fellow IEA members in Hinsdale.
The list also includes the best education-related blogs about hands-on activities, student teaching, technical wizardry, special education, science, superintendent and principal straight talk, a student-written blog and a bus driver who blogs about what students do before they enter a classroom and after they leave it.
At No. 4 is The Teaching Palette, a blog written by Hillary Andrlik and Theresa McGee, both elementary art teachers in Hinsdale, but who write about classroom management and tips for other teachers along with the arts.
And, don’t miss the blog that Scholastic deems the best “Tell-It-Like-It-Is” blog on the list where an anonymous second-grade teacher dishes on what its’ really like inside the classroom. And be sure to see the best “Laugh-Out-Loud” blog, written by another anonymous elementary school teacher who blogs about the students she loves, and the students she hates.
And, there’s a blog that chronicles the life of a substitute teacher as well as one that gives tips on the best way to use blogs in the classroom.
Take a look, and when you’re done, come on back to the IEA website and tell us which one you liked best by posting a comment in the comment section. Or, if you have other suggestions for good education-related blogs, feel free to post a link.
