This is the first time I have ever looked at blogs. I found this one through google. It is about the oil spill in the gulf of Mexico and how the chemicals used to clean it may affect the ocean and us. Here is the address: http://dendroica.blogspot.com/2010/07/chemical-changes-and-environment-in.html

This is a link to lesson plans/resources from the NYT for teaching To Kill A Mockingbird. Their “Learning Network” often has good stuff.

Chad Sharpe is a wakeboarder that keeps fans up to date on what he’s been doing. His blog is great because unlike most athletes, he actually keeps his up to date and posts videos often.

This blog was really interesting to me. It’s all about working mom topics. I will be having my first child soon and know I am in for a shock, especially when I have to go back to work. Her topics are interesting and funny. I know I will visit this one often.

One of my favorite things to do on the internet is troll. This is a blog by the world famous David Thorne, one of the most well known and celebrated troll. He is hilarious. This is his website, but it ran like a blog. He updates his current trollings and shares his thoughts on various issues in a comedic fashion. Worth a look.

I love clothes and am a sucker for a sale…this woman, Jennifer, is a personal shopper/stylist and puts together great outfits for (mostly) affordable prices. She is also for hire, but I just like to look at her ideas…

My husband and I are taking a second honeymoon the day after class is out and we still have not booked anything…oops (we are trying to be spontaneous and look for last minte deals)! We have been looking at HI and other tropical places, but Italy may be in the picture now (its actually cheaper than Hawaii!!) Here is a blog I found about traveling in Italy that is all things Italy and may be useful…

Ok, so here is the Whitehouse blog….
Regardless of political affiliation, I think it’s cool that the White House is stepping it up into the tech world.

This blog is about the world’s oldest person. Supposedly she is 157, but there is no evidence to support that. However, her daughter is still alive and proven to be 108. I liked this blog because it talked about her lifestyle. I am always interested to learn how people live to be so old. http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2010/06/indonesian-census-discovers-a-157yearold-woman.html

This blog was created by a co-worker of mine. It is aimed at athletes but it has great nutritional tips for everyone no matter how much exercise you get. I like that he takes a practical and realistic approach to weight loss and a healthy lifestly. http://cpulsipherrd.blogspot.com/

This blog was created by a friend of my friend. She is Mormon and the blog is about her mission. I like it because she talks about what Alaska is like and her experience there. http://whatbrittonisgoingonamission.blogspot.com/

I like craft beer and food. This is a brewer that I recently found called Brew Dog. The make a some great beers. Try the tactical Nuclear Penguin and the Paradox. This blog basically walks you through the beer making and a bunch of other nonsense.

I love to scrapbook, although I have been slacking since I got married. I was looking for some inspiration and found a great blog that not only has great ideas, but is very personal about a woman and her family.

This blog is about a teacher who is leaving the profession. It is interesting to read about her reasons and how she defines herself. http://melaniejoy.blogspot.com/?expref=next-blog
Carmen Cerano · July 13, 2010 at 10:14 am
I liked this blog because it has some healthy recipes for vegetables and some beautiful poems. http://elizabethnow.blogspot.com/?expref=next-blog

As we have discussed social networking in class, I thought some might find this blog useful as they talk about how to connect blogs to facebook for different styles of writing and effeciency.

This was a cool site because it included a list of 20 educational blogs, so you can click on them according to interest or need.

This blog is hosted by a teacher of many years and faces the realities and rewards of the profession. His May 11th entry speaks to the need for technology and change in our teaching styles, in keeping with what we are learning to address in this, and other, classes @APU.

I studied architectural history during my undergrad at UCSC and I love reading and learning about it. I just found this awesome blog called “A Daily Dose of Architecture”. Its a bit overwhelming at first there are so many great links and so much information. But some of the pictures are amazing!

Here is another blog I found on art. When I found it the post from today (July, 19, 2010) “Social Justice Through Photography” got me thinking about applications in the classroom. There are so many great artists out there commenting on our society with their work, and it can be used in our classrooms to teach about a myriad of subjects/ topics.

I was not sure where to post my faith integration assignment. So I am posting it as part of the blog share because the website includes a blog. I found that Harvest Ministries with Greg Laurie reaches out to the community through the internet. Greg has set up a website and a blog. Website provides an overview of the church, the statement of faith, and provides an introduction to the faith under the “Know God” tab. You can also donate or purchase the books he has written. Also, the schedule of upcoming events and church locations is provided. Finally, there is a blog. His blog is more personal but he always integrates scripture.
Harvest really provides the community with a view into the church and what it stands for. The statement of faith tells onlookers what principles the church is founded upon. If you want information on where you can attend service and what to expect at a service all you have to do is take a look at the website. Greg has done an excellent job of presenting Harvest to the global community.
Here is the website. http://www.harvest.org/

This last blog is written by a friend of mine from college that I haven’t really been able to keep in touch with, other then read her facebook updates. I recently found her blog and I am glad I looked for it, because she is an amazing writer and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading her stuff.
