Since You Asked

Janelle asked me in the comment section of another post about my blog recommendations. I posted this in the comment section, but I thought it might be missed and others would be interested (not that I am an expert or anything). My blog feeds are eclectic in some areas because of my sense of humor. While I love the in-depth blog posts about education and pedagogy, I also like to read what teachers and administrators truly feel about situations. Those folks are generally anonymous, but they are funny as all get out.

I also read a lot of political feeds, mainly to keep up with education and leadership topics in Texas. Make sure you read the warning below in the comment repost about those.

Anyway, I hope you find these useful. If you want specific recommendations, shoot me an email and I can find something to fit your needs (maybe). Click on the link below to my Bloglines account. You can expand the folders in the left hand side to see the specific blog names and links. Post questions about this in the comment section. If you want to set up your own Bloglines account, do a Google search for "Bloglines videos" to find some how to stuff that will help out.

I am working on setting up a new school blog to go with my new job. I will post it here in early August. Maybe I can be your Wes Fryer.

As for what I read, look here:
WOScholar's Bloglines Blogroll

There are 105 feeds right now. Let me know what you think. There are administrators, teachers, education specialists, and even the political links. WARNING: The political blog list has some bloggers that sometimes use foul language. I keep them on my list because they provide valuable insight while Austin is in session. And the way they use voice to write posts is just amazing. Those folks have some writing talent (and sarcasm). While I do not agree with their views on everything, they do offer a different perspective I need to consider at times.

So, let me know what you think of this list. There are some really good Texas feeds in here as well. Miguel Guhlin, author of A Flowing River and Around the Corner, is a good read from the technology side of things. Wes Fryer (former Texas 4th grade teacher), author of Speed of Creativity, is wonderful on pedagogy plus technology plus literacy all tied together.

Have a good week. Janelle and I are flying out to Chico, CA, Tuesday morning. Keep us in your prayers (and those who have to deal with the two of us working together). If allowed, I plan to have iChat and Skype up and running if you need us.
