Because I tend to focus on middle and high school students, I don’t often find as many resources for elementary teachers. However, in my role as Community Leader for our Australian community, I am finding all sorts of folks who share so willingly. And, wow, am I learning along with them. Take a look:
Kathleen Morris: I’m a Mac person, but if I used Windows 7, I would want to know about these short cuts. Another page tells you all you need to know about blogging with younger children.
Trish Dower shares what is happening in her classroom with videos and links to work.
John Thomas, a Google Certified teacher, offers tips to teachers in clear language (a great focus on writing with primary students).
Of course, there are many more. What about you? What are your favorite elementary blogs for sharing how we learn to learn?

Wow Susan…thanks for mentioning my class blog here. I saw the title of your blog post in my Google reader and quickly went to have a look and found I’d been mentioned along with Kathleen and John.
I love blogging with my class and have found that the blog has enabled my class of 22 six year olds to independently make choices on how they access web content to support their learning. The parents and families of these kids have shared their joy in being able to see and interact with their child’s learning and the kids are just so proud to share their work online.
I’m looking forward to seeing what other people’s favourite primary blogs are and hope to have some new visitor’s to our class blog. Cheers, Trish

Hi Susan, thanks so much for the mention. Like Trish, I am honored. I too get so much out of blogging with my grade two students and discover more and more benefits each day!
There are so many fabulous blogs out there and I wrote a post about some of my favourites just a few weeks ago http://primarytech.global2.vic.edu.au/2011/04/29/keeping-up-with-blogs/
