Bud the Teacher

    John has a  suggestion for those of us frustrated by our districts blocking blogs:

Looks like there are some filters that are putting the blanket over all
things in the edublogs realm. Check for yourself. Does http://www.edublogs.org
work at your place of work? If not, drop a line to your friendly
technology director or school administrator as ask “What’s up?” As a
guy with a bit of experience with these things, a) it usually starts
with the filter vendor pushing an update, not a direct decision by your
local IT gurus, and b) technically, it can easily be resolved. Your
policies and procedures may vary.

Speaking of John, he’s had lots of good suggestions lately since I’ve been reading him.  One from last weekend was:

Here’s a weekend activity. Suggest somebody different. Pull a link from
your aggregator that you think is worthy of a little more attention
from the rest of the edublogosphere. I’m looking for some new faces!

Here’s a recommendation:  Ben is about to be a student teacher here in Colorado.  He’s just begun blogging about his ideas and processes.  While his blog is a new one, he’s had some interesting ideas.  Looking forward to more.
