Educational Blog review

Over the last couple of months, I've become really used to the idea of 'blogging', considering I didn't really know what it was three months ago!
I think it's a fantastic idea to use them in education, so have been researching other blogs and how they're used. Here are five weblinks of the many I've looked at:

The most interesting blog I looked at was the 'Creative Education blog', (the first link listed).
I really enjoyed looking at this blog. It seems to be aimed at teachers, especially the newly qualified which will hopefully be me in a couple of years! There are loads of different posts, funny ones such as 'How to Motivate Your Class After the Summer Break', and 'The 7 Signs You’re Losing Control of Your Class'.
But the blog also focussed on more serious issues that are found in schools. One of the posts that caught my eye concentrates on the serious issue of anorexia, a eating disorder which is mostly found among young girls. Anorexia is something that is very close to me, as a friend suffered with it through school, and she was never given any support until she fell really ill. But I think if a teacher noticed and said something about her habits, it might have been prevented. The post says 'prevention is always better than a cure', which I completely agree with. It goes on to give tips on how to support a student with this issue.
 I think it is a positive thing that it is being recognised, and students who are suffering should be given support.
