blogs i have subscribed to...

I subscribed to a blog about how Health Education Ignores Sexuality because that is a controversial topic in my subject area. State standards vary and I think it's interesting to hear different opinions. This one is from an Atlanta newspaper. As a health educator I think it's important to stay open minded and be willing to keep learning so that you may become a better teacher.

I subscribed to the blog of a student in this class who is also a School Health Education major. Most of my subscriptions are to blogs about health, but this person provided a lot of links about using technology. My subscribing to their blog I am able to have that access without having to find them all myself.

I subscribed to a PBS teachers resource blog. I like this because it has a lot of posts and is very reliable information. I think PBS has always been a valuable source of knowledge for educators, so this blog provides me with lots of different resources for improving my teaching skills. It also addresses somewhat political issues I might not otherwise be aware of.


I subscribed to The Health Care Blog as well. Being that my emphasis is health education I liked the idea of having a stream of posts just about health care in general. This blog can keep me up to date on some of the more political issues revolving around health care, which is especially important considering the latest health care reform. As I begin my teaching career I will need to be somewhat well versed in this.

I subscribed to Web MD, which is a website I've used often in my daily life, so I feel familiar with it. This site provides health information that is easily accessible and easily understood by the masses. If I just want a quick update on the latest health issues being talked about I can look at this resource.
