Three Blogs I Found Useful

The first site I found is called EZ Tech Integration for Teachers.  It was created by Natalie Wojnski.  She is a geography teacher, a yearbook advisor, and a newspaper advisor.  She created this site to chronicle her journey back into technology integration.  She wanted to help other teachers by supplying her ideas and hopefully help other teachers to avoid the mistakes she has made or will make.  She provides a short description for each site she supplies on her site.  She has made the site very user friendly without all the distractions some of the other blogs have.  She also included list of blogs that she frequents.  The only thing I did not like was that she does not include a more detailed profile of herself.  I have no idea how long she has been teaching or where.

The second site I found is called ICT Teaching in the Information Age.  It was created by Kathryn Evans.  She was a teacher and now a full time consultant.  She helps schools to develop Web 2.0 projects.  She provides useful ideas and sites for teachers.  She includes her opinions on each subject and allows for comments.  The site is very colorful and inviting.  She supplies a lot of information about herself in her profile.  Her posts however are infrequent.  She may only post once a month or even for several months. 

The last blog I found is Larry Ferlazzo's Websites of the Day.  It was created by Larry Ferlazzo.  I actually had to go to one of his other sites to discover that he is a high school teacher and a community organizer.  He has written articles and books to help teachers with classroom struggles. This particular site caters to ELL, ESL, and EFL teachers.  However, he does have links to his other blogs, his articles, and his books.  I found this site interesting because he provides sites that may interest teachers in subjects such as reform issues and teacher effectiveness studies.  He gives his opinions on each issue and allows for comments.  His site provides ways for teachers to stay informed about many issues that effect us.  In the about section you can locate links to articles he has written, awards he has received, his series, and a monthly newsletter.  His design is simple and easy to use.
