Week 10: Educational Blog

My Plate Runneth Over

I found many educational blogs that had been done by teachers.  There were blogs that gave different ideas for certain projects, told about their experiences in the classroom, or talked about the difficulties of dealing with adults inside and outside the school.  For instance, one of the blogs discusses how, although she loves her job, sometimes the stress of dealing with other adults can get in the way of teaching the students.  In this particular post, she talks about balance.  Balance among life, work, new methods, relations with other teachers, or new technology.  Although, her talks are more on the side of venting from frustration, but it was really interesting to see a blog that gave a "less happy" point of view.  Many of the other blogs that I read talked about their cool experiences and different strategies, which is definitely great, but it was nice to see that there are also plenty of hardships that go on in the classroom.  The community learned about a student in college who is ready to learn about both the good and bad that happens as a teacher.
