My explorations in Classroom 2.0 has found several blogs worth reading. However, all of them deal with technologies. I am still searching for a blogger who is discussing education and not necessarily technology in the classroom.
Where are the special education teachers? Are there any teachers in my field of education that are blogging?
I have learned so much over the past few months reading the blogs that I have subscribed to. What I am hoping for is to develop a global community of teachers who do not teach technology. I want to find those who are using 2.0 technologies to share their thoughts and ideas on classroom practices, pedagogies, tips and tricks, lesson plans etc.
Are they out there? Can anyone point me to them?

I think it’s a great story for teachers wondering about how to integrate technology into the classroom.

Where do I start? Just going through my Bloglines will give you a few pointers although no-one is guaranteed to be technology free - apologies if you are reading these already.
Doug Noon - Borderland - English focus in an elementary setting.
Aaron Nelson - Teacher In Development - ESL
Bruce Schauble - Throughlines - English.
Dan Meyer - dy/dan - High school Mathematics.
Miss Profe - It’s A Hardknock Teacher’s Life - high school foreign language.
I’ll forward some more as I go but start searching this little lot’s blogrolls as well.

[...] Hence the localised clustering. I would argue that with tools like MyBlogLog or twitter, tracking and making connections is an evolving practice. My initial forays in blogging was unable to unearth many other Aussies - so every local connection made was like gold (Jo, Leigh at the time, John P., Warrick, Alex). But one thing that I look for in any blog is relevance to me. So, if classroom teachers are getting on board and looking for each other, that’s a good thing in my book. I know that several bloggers in my Bloglines are publicly cutting down their feeds which makes it harder for the new wave to get a look in, then there’s the debate over the use of ning as a platform for teachers who might not have had the confidence or the time to develop their own blog and associated network.
