1. [] This is a blog about an educator that has decided to flip her classroom. This means that the __students__ are watching videos of lessons at home and then using class time to work on assignments. I subscribed to this because our __school__ has been talking about this and I have found it very beneficial. It offers many resources on flipping classrooms from how to __get started__ to what is working and what is not. It also offers weekly reflections from the instructor, __surveys__ from the __students__ and data supporting the benefits of instruction this way. I am thrilled with the about of information I have gained from this blog just within three weeks. Rating: :)

2. [] This is a blog about different technology that is available for the classroom. They have a lot of articles describing the pros and cons of technology options. It is very interesting to learn about new technology that I am able to incorporate in my classroom. I think this blog will be even more beneficial once I __start__ implementing some of the things we are currently learning in class. Rating: :)
