Edutopia...is it possible?

This week i decided to review a website and it was www.edutpoia.org. When i first saw this website on our list of suggestions i laughed to myself and said i have to see what this website had to offer. I thought to myself can education or anything related to the field be an utopia? With so many different opinions on how and what to teach can there be a website that gives you a definite answer? Well this website does not give you a definite answer but it does give you really really good blogs, articles, and resources of what you can do as an educator.
I read this article in this website that was called, " How to keep kids engaged" and this article proved to me that this website will be so helpful and give you tips on how to teach.
I signed up for the free newsletters because just like ASCD smartbrief this website will help me with my becoming a teacher.

Finding help online :)

This week I looked through the website www.k12connection.org The last 4 blogs i have done have been on individual articles and this week I thought I would do a whole website. This website serves as a resource tool for parents and students with areas that focus on the years of schooling before the preparation of college. It was really neat to look through the various area content, which included parts like career, education, news, school/school boards, and students. There was one excerpt I read that was dated February 16th named "Importance of a Daily Routine" under the education feed. it spoke about how young children need routine in their classroom lives. It may be half way through the year and they still can not remember that they have homework everyday. This goes back to classroom management, daily routine, and constant reminders. I can even safely say this ideal of daily routine works on college kids as well. I know that we have to write a blog every week and that gives me a constant homework rountine to follow. I am a very structured person and its comforting to know that certain things are due and on a concrete date.

I will honestly go back to website again in the future to see what new tidbits are posted. It was a good website which a lot of areas to go and explore.
