I am a secondary education major and my content area is social studies. While I was searching for blogs that could be useful to my future teaching career I stumbled onto Dan McDowell's blog. He is a History teacher at West Hills High School. He had a blog that shared his experience with teaching children. He wrote about different lesson plans that worked and shared the one's that did not work as well. He provided links to the resources he had implemented in his classroom. The great thing about his blog was it also had a homepage that had links to his personal lesson plans and instructional web designs that people could go over. McDowell even had an area where he interacted with his students and their parents through the Internet which I thought was a great way to get everyone involved with technology.
I thought this blog could be useful to my future teaching career because of the numerous resources that McDowell had provided. I think it is important that teachers have countless of resources that they can depend on because it can only improve their teaching methods and philosophy. Reading other teacher's experiences can help teachers to learn what may or may not work when teaching a class as well. If there are History teachers in need of a good resource check out this blog!
