Just thought that I’d put up a quick post to point out the blogroll that I’ve just added to the menu on the right. So far, I’ve added four bloggers in there, all of whom I strongly recommend you go check out.

The first one, “I Want to Teach Forever” has a lot of tips for teachers, and they are embarking on an interesting project this year called “52 Teachers, 52 Lessons” in which they are inviting teachers to submit lesson ideas to be shared via the blog - a new one is being posted each week. Depending on the success of this, I may do something similar next year here on buildingthefuture.com.au.

The second blog is called “So You Want To Teach?” and focuses fairly strongly on new teachers and students teachers, providing handy hints that aren’t often shared with preservice teachers by their university lecturers.

The third blog on my blogroll, “Successful Teaching” is the blog of Pat Hensley, a retired teacher from South Carolina in the US, who is now a tutor at Furman University. Pat posts some interesting articles, as well as a weekly wrap of some interesting sites that she has discovered during the week that can be used in the classroom.

And last, but not least, is “Teaching Challenges“, a fellow Australian blogger named Penny Ryder who is a Year 1 teacher. Each Tuesday, Penny shares a “Tech Tip” and every Friday she shares some of the fun moments in her classroom that week.

Feel free to share any other good educational blogs in the comments. If you’d like to trade links and have your site included in my blogroll, leave a comment with the details and I’ll add you to the list.
