Edutopia
The Edutopia Blog has blogs, videos, and
articles from educators, community members, and people involved in school
districts. All articles must be screened
and approved by Edutopia before
submission. I love the Edutopia website because it has
research based activities, articles, and curriculum (download for free). The blog is high quality and reminds me of the
website. The blog can be an excellent source for research.

Education
Week is an online
newspaper that covers K-12 education. The
newspaper targets educators (superintendents, administrators, teachers) and community
leaders. Education Week blogs include
articles, news, and opinions concerning education issues from preschool through
high school transition to college and beyond. Education Week Blogs
are extensive and divided by topics: Politics & Policy; Technology,
Industry & Innovation; Research; International Perspective; P-16
Curriculum; Educating Specific Populations;
Teaching Profession; Leadership; Health & Wellness; Parents &
Community; Books & Photos; Careers; Charters and School Choice; Books & Photos; Careers; and Charters and
School Choice. I chose this site because
of the extensive topics and high quality articles. The blog provides up-to-date
information that is relevant and I can
use in when planning after school programs & activities.

Connecticut
After School Network
The
Connecticut After School Network is
a collaborative of individuals and organizations that promote the safety,
healthy development and learning outside the traditional classroom. They
provide training and technical assistance to improve program quality; influence
policy on behalf of youth and families; and expand funding opportunities. Like Connecticut,
Ohio’s Afterschool Network also makes high-quality, age appropriate information,
technical assistance, and advocating for practitioners, parents and children. I am currently a member of the Ohio After
School Network which does not have a
blog. I found excellent articles as well
as links to blogs that have the same focus.
