The first subscription I joined is “Improving Public Schools and Education,” by Edutopia. The Edutopia website is http://www.edutopia.org/. I was introduced to Edutopia in my first Full Sail University course. I have been using this website ever since for research, resources, and to gain knowledge on different educational topics. I am able to learn a great deal of information from the different blog posts from teachers, administrators, school improvement coaches, and parents. I am a second grade teacher so the material covered is relevant and benefits my profession.
Next, I chose to join “Teacher Magazine: News and Information for Teacher Leaders.” The website is http://www.edweek.org/tm/index.html. I just came across this website recently as I began to hunt for K-6 job openings. This website allows you to browse job openings in any area. Due to budget cuts and being a non-tenured teacher, there is a chance I will not be resigning a contract at the school I am currently working at. This website offers advice and solutions.
The third subscription I joined is “TeacherTube: Teach the World.” The TeacherTube website is http://www.teachertube.com/members/myHome.php. I became a member of TeacherTube right away because I was very interested to view the videos the website contained. There are many videos that I can use in my classroom. I came across a great video called “Did You Know.” Karl Fisch created this video. This video really got me thinking and I can’t wait to share it with my colleagues. You can check it out here: http://www.teachertube.com/members/viewVideo.php?video_id=118&title=Did_You_Know___by_Karl_Fisch.
Another subscription I joined is the “U.S. Department of Education” website at http://www.ed.gov/. This website is wonderful for teachers. You can listen to speeches, videos, read newsletters, and stay updated with current events and everything pertaining to education. This website is a great resource for teachers to use.
Lastly, I subscribed to “PBS Teachers. Learning. Now” that was written and produced by Andy Carvin. The website can be located at http://www.pbs.org/teachers/learning.now/. This is a web blog that explores technology in the classroom. There is a tab for K-2 Resources with separate tabs for all subject areas. There are teacher discussions and ways that you can incorporate technology into the classroom.
