Elementary Education Blogs
May 24, 2007
Are there high-quality elementary education blogs out there? In searching WordPress and Technorati, the vast majority of what I find under “education” or “teaching” is either rant-filled or is more of a personal diary than a blog meant for others to read and learn from. I’m looking for blogs that:
- Are written by a current elementary teacher
- Offer tips, ideas, resources, and/or thoughts about education on a regular basis
- Keep rants and complaints to a minimum, and
- Are not dry (they can’t sound like college research papers)
If you qualify (or you know of a blog that does), please respond! Cityteacher’s “Teaching in the Inner City” blog is looking a little lonely on my blogroll…

I love City Teacher’s blog myself. Might I offer my blog as a possible addition:

Thanks for introducing me to your blog! I looked at your site and enjoyed it; I have added it to my blogroll. It made me laugh to see that you, like me until recently, had just cityteacher’s blog in your “Other People’s Blogs” category. There must be other good ones out there…

I’ve added your reflection blog to my blogroll, with my compliments on your great site! Thank you for your tip of the cap to this blog in your recent post as well.

Yeah, I just realized I might not meet your criteria because
1. I whine and complain more than occasionally, but not all the time on my blog;
2. I only have some tips;
but, it isn’t dry.
Question, are you doing any technology integration in your classroom? I can’t see it in your recent blog posts, but that might be a reflection of school being out?

Yeah, technology integration will be discussed at times on here, but summer won’t feature as much of it.

Just another excuse for me to read your archive.

I know exactly what you mean! I get so tired of reading other teacher’s blogs that have nothing to share but the negative side of teaching. Sometimes I have to wonder if they are finding any joy in the profession at all. I too am on the search for blogs like my own that have the sole purpose of sharing ideas that are working in the classroom. Thanks for getting this question out there…so that I can benefit from some blogs like mine!!

Hi I am a junior at Oklahoma State University. I was assigned to go out on the web and find a blog related to elementary education and comment on it. However, when I searched I could not find one that was actually helpful. Most of them just sounded like a vent session.Thank you for this blog. I gained some excellent knowledge about blogging.

Hi,
I’ve started a new blog-www.davincisclassroom.wordpress.com and hope to offer positive
teacher tips and eventually lesson plans.
It’s brand new but may have what you’re looking for.
I’ll be happy to address questions and post them also.
(17 yrs exp and MA in Elelm. Edu.)
I’m not sure if this site is still current. Give my blog some time to build up but I’m working towards a helpful site.
Thanks. Terri
