I don't think this blog is a "school" blog, but it was on the list. It is http://21stcenturylearning.typepad.com/blog/ and it is the blog of Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach who has strong credentials in education and technology although it took a bit of clicking to find them. My only complaint is that the title is not very specific as to what the blog discusses. It is 21st Century Learning. The purpose of the weblog is clearly stated on the website, but not until I read some of the posts, did I begin to understand what the blog was about. Once, I did, I enjoyed it and found myself reading longer than I planned. Her blog seems to be read by many people, and she receives two or so comments with each post which I think is a good indication that people are reading her blog. I read some of the comments, and they do seem to indicate that they believe she is an expert in the field of 21st century learning (which I know I would have to read more posts to understand her definition of 21st century learning.)
The other blog I looked at is http://sarahpuglisi.blogspot.com/ Sarah is a teacher and a prolific blogger. She has many resources on her blog for teachers, readers, artists, and writers. She also uses the blog for social information about her life as well, but it is nicely connected to her overall theme of living life to the fullest. She has cancer, and as she says it doesn't define her, but it does define her perspective on "A day in the life."

I love the picture of the girls with the hula hoops! Sarah's blog is very personal and yet she shares a lot that fits in our quest to find resources on education. Thanks for sharing an interesting site!
ReplyDeleteSome of the 21st century sites are very informative - she's sharing that she and Will Richardson will be running the boot camp! I would love to be involved in that type of learning.
We are going to have to really focus our needs for a PLN as there are a lot of great resources available :-)
And I forgot - I would agree, she doesn't quite fit into a "school blog" category - http://www.21stcenturycollaborative.com/bio.html
