Educator Blog Comparisson

To compare two educator blogs, I looked at the Moving at the Speed of Creativity blog and the Fischbowl blog.

I think both of these blogs do a great job of presenting current issues that are relevant for educators and those interested in education and technology. I feel like the informaiton presented on the websites is at an overwhelming amount, but I have to remind myself, that often, blogs are not for knowing everything that ever was on the blog as you would a website or a book. Rather, they are like a newspaper where it's not necessary to read every last back issue of a newspaper to know what the current events are and to be able to participate in discussions about current events. It seems like both of these blogs hold up positively to scrutiny, but I really feel like I need to follow them for more than a few days to determine my own personal evaluation results for them. They are both highly regarded amongst my professors and some other educators that I've spoken to, so for personal recommendations, they both hold up well.

  1. I'm very curious - what did you think about the video clip from the class that used Skype?

    I hope you will go back and check that out. It was posted June 5. I feel that this might help make additional connections with our work.

    Again, thinking of what is possible.

  3. Jen, I think your comment about needing to follow them for a few days or even weeks is very important. Just looking at them once may not be very fair. I am going to keep looking at the two that I found most helpful (but for different reasons, Richardson and Crosby. I never thought to look at blogs for supporting my professional growth and classroom goals. I am thankful for this assignment!
