Like-Mindedness

Yesterday, I was looking through some of the blogs I have bookmarked on my Google Homepage. There, at Se Hace Camino Al Andar, I found a like-minded teacher. She is attending the The Summer Institute on the Teaching of Writing, a workshop I would love to attend. There she is learning how to really do the Writer's Workshop in her class, and thankfully for the rest of us, she is blogging about her experience and sharing much of what she is learning.

Secondly, this teacher has started another blog called Inquiry. Here, in a post called "Inquiry Again," she muses over how best to use blogs in her classroom. This is exactly what I am trying to figure out.

I've ended up at Cool Cat Teacher Blog. I will have to come back and read more. A quick peruse, however, has given me the idea of doing a wiki with my class when we get to the Ancient Greece and Rome unit.

There's so much information out there that it gets overwhelming. I end up with endless tabs on Firefox and can't keep up with the reading!
