Learning with Impact: Techno-Tuesday: Recommended Sites for New Teachers

    • Middle School Teacher: A great mix of personal thoughts, ideas about education reform and practical tips
    • Betty's Blog: She's level-headed and yet passionate and full of both personal and practical wisdom
    • Cornerstone: Tons of practical ideas with a slightly cutesy perspective
    • It's Not All Flowers and Sausages: A blog filled with wit and humor, but often containing some sharp analysis of the system
    • Brazen Teacher: I connect well with this blog, because the author is as anti-standardization as I am, but she explains it in a much more creative style 
    • Science Teacher: One of the smartest bloggers around, a scientist with the soul of a poet
    • Cal Teacher Blog: Mr. Bibo is a man with wisdom, conviction and practical ideas. The blog has some real thought-provoking posts
    • Clif's Notes: If I needed one blog to keep me up to date on technology, it would be this.  It's like having a tech guru on my laptop all the time
    • Reach for More / Aspira a Mas: One of the few teaching blogs out there with a Latina perspective
    • The Power of Educational Technology: A little less practical than Clif's Notes, but constantly thought-provoking
    • The Doc is In: He seems to blog about everything, but with a distinct mix of both authority and humility
    • Countdown to Teachhub: I wish I had this site when I was first starting out.  I felt like i constantly needed some practical tips and this site offers them. One of my favorite features is the YouTube writing prompts. 
    • In the Trenches: It's the kind of blog that I read when teaching feels a little lonely.

    activities in small groups.
  • There are two reasons for keeping students actively engaged in pairs, individually or in teams.
