I've been on the Google Reader bandwagon for a long time. In fact, just a few hours before looking at this assignment, I de-junked my reader- I had tons of old blogs I never read any more and wanted to put them in the right "files". I feel much better with my Reader more organized.
Anyway, the two blogs I found were these:
http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com
gotthamschools.org
The coolcatteacher is all about how to reach our more technology savvy students, and it is geared especially toward teachers who didn't grow up in the computer age. The thing I love the most about this blog (and any blog/website) are the freebies. She has a ton of awesome downloads for everything from internet safety for teens to tutorials on how to use technology to your advantage in the classroom.
Gotthamschools.org is about "what works and does not work" in the NY public school system. While it is technically geared toward New York schools, most schools face many of the same problems- delinquency, drop out, ethnicity issues, lack of funding, etc. It was so interesting to read what teachers were saying about how to help students succeed when it seems like the world is against them.
