Do you read every entry from any of these blogs?

Larry Ferlazzo

http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/ - Larry has average almost three posts per day over the last month. I’m sure that this has gone on for ages. He started with “The Best of…” series that continues on, and he has an awesome English Website.

Silvia Tolisano

http://langwitches.org/blog/ - Silvia posts so many high quality, informative posts that I am amazed. She does her “links of the Day” and average 1.5 posts per day over the last month besdes that “links” post. She has a gift for breaking down software and is tireless in annotating images to amplifiy these efforts.

Miguel Guhlin

Miguels blog “Around the Corner” at http://www.edsupport.cc/mguhlin/index.htm - is a joy to read. He tore loose this weekend and published six posts. His interest is not caregorizeable, but whatever he writes about draws my attention. My favorite from the weekend was “Ubuntu Story”.

Important Discoveries This Week

I just discovered Teacher Portal this morning. Suzie Vesper, a teacher from New Zealand is the central nervous system of this wiki. It is a deep, rich resource for elementary school teachers and parents.

Lee Speers, an educator from Pennsylvania, published a powerful post today: ‘Thirty Things Good Teachers Do’ in his blog named The World According To Speers.

A wonderful, royalty-free resource is the Educational Technology Clearing House. “ETC is a collaborative project of the Bureau of Instruction and Innovation, Florida Department of Education and the Florida Center for Instructional Technology, College of Education, University of South Florida. The links included in this clearinghouse appeared to contain useful information at the time they were chosen. If you discover that a site linked from this clearinghouse is no longer relevant, or has inaccurate or inappropriate content, please email the project director .”
