The Pedagogy of Blogs

Recently I was able to not only learn about, but research various educational blogs. Here, I'll share some of my thoughts, findings and comments. As I searched, three stood out to me. One is a classroom blog, titled: "Mrs. Yollis' Classroom Blog." Another is an individual teachers blog, "The Nerdy Teacher," and last...but certainly not least is an incredibly professional group blog, "Edutopia." I like these sites for different reasons, but they are all very informational. The Nerdy Teacher goes with a fun, geeky layout; and isn't afraid to let his sense of humor and personality shine through in his posts. Mrs. Yollis blog is full of pictures, and videos (who doesn't love that?). It's very simple and allows for parents to easily follow the format and agenda of the class. I liked Edutopia for different reasons. It's incredibly professional, informational and organized. It seems to be a little more in-depth and detailed. The postings are obviously much more advanced than those from Mrs. Yollis.

I appreciated the opportunity to search these blogs, and I learned from each of them.
