I have found two more blogs to add to my blog roll. I felt the need to add blogs that included all my my interests in one. I didn't find any that could do that but, I did find some that included several of my interest. One Example is Politics K-12. This blog takes modern politics and focuses on how they affect kids in the classroom, hence k-12. In the article Obama Warns of Ed. Cuts, Touts Vision on K-12the blog describes President Obama's plan for the educational future of our country. As a Secondary Social studies major(with a minor in political science) I find this blog to combine a fair amount of politics and how they affect the educational setting. I will be continuing to follow this blog as I graduate and become a professional as it will show insite as to how policy makers affect my job. The second blog also combines two of my great passions, being a huge closet nerd, and being a huge closet nerd. This blog is called GeekAlerts. This blog informs the reader about up coming technological advancements. I feel that it is important to keep up with technology because it will help me each in the future.
The video below is of a well respected English literature professor. He explains the positives of using technology in the classroom. Be warned he is British.
Geek Alerts was certainly fun to check out. If that sort of stuff is interesting to you, i suggest you check out Topless Robot. lots of fun news and opinions about geeky/nerdy stuff. http://www.toplessrobot.com
You did a very nice job describing both the blogs and a recent post by the one. The video at the end seems to be thrown in for no reason though, maybe a little better segway into why its in the post.

ReplyDeleteI think that the blog "politics k-12" is really cool because, like you said, it talks about how politics affect kids in the classroom.
