I've viewed blogs and wikis as learning tools for students. But after searching and reading through a plethora of blogs created by Kindergarten teachers, I've clearly missed a very important point--they are tools for teachers as well. Although this is probably obvious to most, perhaps being a novice is why I missed this blinking neon sign...or maybe it is because I'm approaching my ninth month of pregnancy. Either way, the bus finally pulled up and I'm on it!
I've started archiving blogs that are created by Kindergarten teachers and it is easy to see that this is a way to revolutionize ideas, as well as begin a business as was the choice of some educators. Why not make a few extra bucks for your work?
At any rate, I particularly love this one.
Kelly- thank you for sharing this. MLK's life is one of my favorite things to teach because kids really have no idea what life was like before they existed. It is so important to know where we came from to understand where we want to go. I spend so much time every year trying to find appropriate, interesting, and inspirational clips to share. This site had a great selection, any one of which my children would have enjoyed.
