Thing #6 3 educational posts

I subscribed to 3 educational posts:
1) The first one is "web-blogged" by Will Richardson. I picked it because it was highly recommended and I really liked the post he made about being a problem solver instead of an excuse maker. http://weblogg-ed.com/2010/yeah-youve-got-problems-so-solve-them/
2) The second one was Anne Davis's blog. She seems to be on the "bleeding edge" of blogging in the classroom. There were several like that to choose from, but what made my mind was how she had her dog blog to students. I could so do this! My critters, 3 horses and 2 dogs, could have a blog! http://anne.teachesme.com/2010/03/19/a-tribute-to-harley/
3) The third blog I chose was a reading specialist blog. I chose this because it gives detailed information, based on research, about how to help struggling readers, complete with lesson ideas and websites to use with every aspect of reading instruction. This blog link is: http://www.readingspecialistblog.com/phonemic-awareness/how-should-phonemic-awareness-be-taught-to-beginning-readers/.
Within this site were three links to online books that I'd like to use in the classroom next year. Those links are:
http://www.mightybook.com/story_books.html These books although read aloud are also animated. Children will have fun with them but may lose focus on the manner in which they are read.http://www.storylineonline.net/ This is a site sponsored by the Screen Actor’s Guild and offers books read by actors such as James Earl Jones and Melissa Gilbert, and Tia & Tamera Mowry.http://www.rif.org/kids/readingplanet/bookzone/read_aloud_stories.htm This site offers both the traditional reading of stories and story songs and raps.
