This list gives you the top educational bloggers known to people. The third one on the list was Jerry Blumengarten, who I already follow on Twitter and who we did a Google Hangout with in another class! He has some great posts on Twitter and is a leader in the #edchat chat every week. I will be referring to this list when I need some new ideas on who to follow and want to see more educational information to blog about, or just to learn more about becoming a teacher. I had to make a professional Twitter account in another class of mine to develop a Personal Learning Network, and this list is going to help me greatly to find new people to interact with. I feel that this will help me come a better teacher because there is so much to learn out there. Without lists like this, it would be so difficult to know where to start. Before finding an article like this one, I had no idea where to start with my PLN. I have already bookmarked this website and now have this in this blog so that it is now archived and I can refer to it for extra help and to interact with current educators.
Last night, I participated in the #edchat chat on Twitter, and it was really cool to interact with others over this and to see what other people's opinions are. The topic was: If there is so much research that points to homework being useless, why are teachers still giving it? There were so many responses and people participating in the chat that it was hard to keep up with! However, I did get links to some of the website articles provided, as well as nice quotes that related to the topic. I will also be reading the archive of the chat later tonight, so that I am able to see what everyone had to say.
