Wow, I never imagined so many blogs when I type in the search for "kindergarten!" I come across some fun blogs by other kindergarten teachers that I decided to add to my RSS feeds. Some mentioned new websites such as the Lookybook.com I had previously posted about. I found that by reading her blog. The teacher blogs also offered other ideas of what I can do in the classroom - fun projects!
While I was going through the "http://edublogawards.com", I came across http://www.classroom20.com/ so I signed up!
When I used the different search blog tools, they didn't always give me what I wanted, even though I had typed in extra key words. I was looking more from a teacher's perspective, not things that happened to a young child in the news.
When I used google blog search and typed in "raven about web 2.0," I came across other people's "thing" assignments but only came across 4 entries because I quoted it. I do prefer google for my searches on the web, for images, etc.
There are tons of new feeds on the net! Practically every big news related website offers newsfeeds - in yahoo, google, etc., you can subcribe to "pre-packed" items they picked for you that will provide you the information you want on such topics as world news, local news, entertainment, multimedia, etc.

ReplyDeleteI was looking through my del.icio.us account for blogs that might be of use to a kindergarten teacher and found this one. See what you think.

And this was under kindergarten in my del.icio.us account. Even though it isn't a blog and looks to be labeled for 1st grade you might find it useful too - http://www.microsoft.com/education/vctanimalalphabet.mspx
Enjoy!
