A Blog about a Blog

After instituting an internet search for "English teacher blog" and briefly scanning through the returns, I came across The English Teacher Blog, a resource for "English teachers all over the world," says its author/editor/moderator Carla Beard.  The blog features repartee on seldom-explained aspects of life as an English teacher with an occasional insightful homage to pedagogy for good measure.  It's the kind of reading that keeps English teachers sane after a long day's work, I think.  "YES! I'm not the only one whose done this" one may think after reading the Education Jargon Generator post.  And here's a great satirical commentary on technology and education that ETEC 414 students may appreciate.  Check out the hyperlinked posts for starters and read on if you found these particularly amusing and/or helpful.

Public Displays of Attrition

Public displays of attrition,  the web is full of them.  They manifest themselves as un-updated websites and blogs, as pictorials chronicling the aging of someone or thing.... This blog will follow my journey through the semester of ETEC 414.
