Blog Tips for Teachers

Tip #1 - Read with Skepticism

[insert YouTube video here]


Tip #2 - Use an aggregator

Blogs are much easier to read when using an aggregator, such as Bloglines or Google Reader. These free services allow you to read all of your favorite blogs in one location. In other words, instead of having to visit each blog every day to find out what new postings have been made, you can simply add the blog to your aggregator and it will show you whenever something new has been posted.


Tip #3 - Read unrelated blogs

Subscribe to blogs that expose you to ideas that you would not normally be exposed to otherwise. If you're in Higher Education, subscribe to a k-12 blog. If you live in the US, subscribe to some Australian blogs.

As an teacher, subscribing to blogs can be an indispensable way to keep up with changes in the world, especially related to learning technologies. Hearing ideas of other instructors can help improve our own teaching as well as provide new ways for looking at a existing challenges.

The following is a list of recommended blogs for teachers (a.k.a Richard's Blogroll). If you're still not sold on the idea of reading blogs, check out my "Blog Tips for Teachers" to the right. You may also be interested in checking out educational podcasts as well.
