Teachers are busy people.  I don’t think any of us could ever say we have all the time we need to plan and deliver our curriculum, as well as keep up with professional reading and undertake professional development. Luckily the Internet gives us many ways to get the latest education information and resources with minimal effort. Blogs, Podcasts, Email Newsletters, RSS feeds…… there is a wealth of information out there.

 I thought I would share some of the resources I receive regularly.  Please feel free to add your favourites in the comments.

I receive a couple of email newsletters on ICT in education.  I admit I generally only skim them, but often something great catches my eye, or I can come back to them when I have more time. I get Terry Freedman’s ‘Computers in the Classroom’ and two from The George Lucas Educational Foundation, ‘Edutopia News’ and ‘Technology in Education’. There is also one for ‘Project Based Learning’ and they can all be subscribed to here.

I am building up a list of Education related blogs that I subscribe to, and try and read regularly.  Some I have only just started reading, some I have followed for awhile.

Cool Cat Teacher Blog, a Blog by Vicki Davis , eLearning Technology ,Tony Karrer’s blog , Derek Wenmoth’s Blog and the Infinite Thinking Machine. I also subscribe to eHub, where Emily Chang Blogs about several new Web 2.0 tools everyday, the Podcasts at the Virtual Staffroom and Common Craft’s In Plain English.  If you don’t know how to subscribe to blogs etc with RSS (Really Simple Syndication), then head over to Common Craft and watch the RSS in Plain English video .

I’d love to hear which blogs or newsletters you find the most useful, so please share in the comments.
