Teacher Blogs

A blog is a website where teachers can post their thoughts and observations, vent their frustrations, talk to other teachers, and more. The following list of teacher blogs is a small sample of the thousands that are on the Internet – with more being added daily. For more on blogs, visit our technologies information page.

Diary of a Teacher Blog TeacherVision.com brings you this blog, written by a new math teacher named Leah, who teaches the Connected Mathematics 2 program. She writes weekly about her experiences adjusting to teaching and the program. In addition to the blog, we have a Teacher's Lounge in which experts discuss Leah's progress via phone interviews. Finally, there are podcasts available of both the blog and the interviews.
