Classy Blogging: Starting Points for Newcomers

I'm new to blogging too. I've mainly posted on blogs related to parenting, but a recent graduate course has prompted me to explore professional blogs too. Any recommendations for good blogs related to special education (specifically center based developmental cognitive delays)? Thanks!

I have recently started a blog in my fourth grade classroom. At first I wasn't excited about it, but this was because I didn't really understand what a blog was. A co-worker helped me to set it up and the students blogged for the first time last week. Students are so excited to do this and now I am too. I look forward to finding fun and excited topics for the students to blog on. I know this is going to be a big motivator as far as writing.

Thanks! I have a personal blog about my family life and have been thinking about starting a classroom blog. This might just give me the motivation I need to get working! I see the value in blogging with my students and I really think they would enjoy it, too. I look forward to further researching the websites you listed above and figuring out a way for my students to get started. Thanks!

Thank you for the information! Like the others who commented, I too need to start blogging for graduate courses. We read an article in which two of the twenty tips were to "blog for yourself" and "blog with your students". I do not know that I am ready to start blogging with my students quite yet; however, I am finding blogging for myself to be pretty interesting! There are so many different avenues to explore. Thanks again!

I, too am blogging as a requirement for a graduate course. I see how one can find a wealth of information and network with others in the same field to share knowledge and ideas. Thank you for your blog that might help to get me started in the "blogging" world.
