These RSS feeds are to blogs that I consider priority reading and ones I find enriching, challenging and informing.

A blog I would encourage you to watch is an independent educational consultant by the name of Angela Maiers. Angela lives in Iowa and has a PASSION for education. Passionate people do a good job of what they are passionate about and this is what caught my eye when I first read her blog. Have a read of one of her latest posts entitled “Passion – A Difference Maker“.

What bloggers would you recommend?

I love reading blogs that are either visionary, challenging or practical. Here is a blog that is very practical.

Jacqui Sharp is an Educational Consultant who works in Auckland, New Zealand. I’ve never met her but would like to. Her blog:

  • is written with tips for teaching junior and senior students (generally a Primary/Elementary focus) .
  • shows a strength in incorporating powerpoints into everyday teaching and shares these with you.
  • uses web 2.0 tools effectively for teaching and learning eg: Scribd, Bubl.us, Inspiration, Delicious, etc.
  • shares a range of sites that will support the following classroom programs: spelling, writing, oral language (and this is only on the first page!).
