How to: When you open your Blogger account, you should get your "dashboard" and you will see something called Reading Lists, and below it a button called "add." When you click on the button, they ask you for a URL, which is the address line of the blog. Copy the URL from a blog, paste it into the spot, click follow, and voila! you are following a blog.
Here are a couple suggestions for a blog to follow:
our very own librarian! Notes from the Benchmark Library
blogs on mindfulness and critical thinking in education: TeachThought or Modern Mindfulness
here's an interesting looking one on social studies and technology: History Tech
or this one: Teaching the Civil War with technology
You can also re-visit the 2014 award-winning classroom blogs and choose one to follow. One that Trina commented on was Mrs. Moore's class blog
If any of you want to share your blog links, I'm happy to post them - and sign up for them myself!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joyce.
ReplyDeleteI followed Trina's blog, Leslie's blog, and the "free tech" one you follow. Now we will see if I can do anything suggested by the blogs. Your animated mug one was fun, and I know the kids might want to try it. I am thinking about your question about educational value.
(By the way, I had to enable 3rd party cookies to be allowed to comment on blogger using my mac at home, so I finally figured it out.)
