Welp, we spent some time playing around on the internet. Usually, that's a terrible idea; the internet is a scary place, ya know. (If you don't think the internet is all that scary, that's good; you haven't gone too far in yet. Once you get to the core depths of the internet, you'll never be able to return.)
Anyhow.
I was surprised when I went to one of the first blogs that Wilber suggested, Plethora Tech. It almost seemed as if the blog has taken a shift away from teaching and is now focused more on some sort of insurance policy jargon. Honestly, I didn't get much of anything from it and I was a bit disappointed.
Moving on then...
Next I checked out a science teacher's blog that is, in fact, about teaching. This one, I definitely recommend. It is mostly personal reflection, almost a bit of a journal. I found his writing to be inspiring and extremely thoughtful. At the same time, I also learned some things from him. His post about evolution and religion was especially insightful. He presents it in a very neutral way that few often take.
Finally, I ended the internet expoloration by checking out Mrs. Polselli's Grade 3 Wiki. It seems like a fairly basic wiki. She posts resources for both students and parents. I didn't find anything particularly insightful here, but that isn't necessarily the nature of a wiki. She uses it as a substitute for programs like D2L and BlackBoard. A good example to follow if needed.
Anyone else check these ones out?
