I found two really good blogs to follow this week. Since my goal is to teach Social Studies and/or Special Education upon completing my education at Stockton, I looked for a good blog to follow in each area.
So I started following a blog written by high school teachers who teach US history that is intended to be a resource for ideas and technology that you can use in the classroom. The blog is called US History Teachers Blog. This week they posted a really cool video with tips on how to remember history facts by using acronyms. The teachers in the video were hilarious and I am looking forward to following this blog not only during this class but in the future.

The second blog called Reality101: CECs blog for new special education teachers is a blog I am also going to follow for my assignment. It has great information, and although it lacks the humor that I like in the other blog the content will be equally as useful as I continue a path in education. This week a teacher named Lisa posted about the snow days. She is concerned for her students and is hopeful that they will be prepared for the standardized tests that are approaching. They have missed 4 days due to snow and she is feeling stressed about missing opportunities to help her students prepare.

I am hopeful that I completed my assignment correctly but even if I didn't I found two great blogs to follow.
