Looking for real-life teachers who share their experiences online through their blogs? Here are a couple who will encourage you and occasionally stretch your mind.

Nashworld, Sean Nash, is an “instructional coach leading a community of learners at Benton High School in Saint Joseph, Missouri who are exploring learner-centered constructivism through emerging technologies.” His blog posts are thorough and well-resourced. Now’s a good time to start watching Sean: next year he’ll be undertaking instruction “unattached to a building,” and will be more closely exploring technology and the “participatory web.”

You might enjoy his well-photographed (270 images) Florida Keys Spring Field Study and his case for classrooms without walls.

If teaching writing is on your agenda, you may enjoy Two Writing Teachers, featuring Ruth Ayers and Stacey Shubitz. In addition to sharing their own teaching experiences, they also foster community amongst writing teachers be aggregating content from the community. Poetry Friday Roundup collects poetry creations and makes them accessible from one central place. Ayes and Shubitz also encourage submissions by way of blog post comments to a weekly Slice of Life Story Challenge. Both give you the opportunity to share your creations with your peers; you might just discover a new friend or two as well.

Many teachers share their experiences, stories, challenges, successes and more through their own blogs. Would you please share with us the blogs of your favorite blogging teachers?
