Three Great Teacher Blogs

I enjoyed this blog due to it's insights. The initial article I read was about why extra credit was not only bad for assessing a child's true knowledge and ability; and how it was even unfair in a socioeconomic setting. This was such an insightful idea that I would never have thought of. Many of his other article brought in a different perspective, focusing less on traditional ways of teaching, and instead trying to direct readers into pathways of teaching that focus more on the students. Along with written articles, his blog contains many links to lectures and powerpoints that he has made to show his thoughts on teaching in yet another medium.

What caught my eye with this blog was the banner with the robots carrying a logo depicting "The Nerdy Teacher". As I took more time to look over the attributes I noticed several award banners declaring him as teacher of the year for several organizations. These credentials made his blog more credible in his knowledge of what he was talking about. Unlike other blogs I had seen I saw little to no material on anything outside him as an educator. The passion and dedication that comes through when he does discuss his experience make his blog an exceptional one.

Initially looking at this blog I was very impressed with the header seen across the top. With eye catching colors and an intriguing name as 2 Cents Worth it was defiantly a blog that catches ones eye. The author of the blog did something else unique that I hadn't yet seen; he was not the sole contributor. Bringing in the perspective of another author shows that he is willing to see the world from another's eyes. The blog, while containing educational concepts, contains the comings and goings  of his own life, his own interests and updates on his upcoming book on the history of educational technology.
