I did a little bit more browsing of other blogs with similar missions to mine. After reading up on how to make a more effective blog, I learned that it is important to see what else is out there in your same field, to check out what is already being done and to discover what is not being done. Here are the two favorites I thought were worth sharing with you- (and apparently Austrailian drama teachers are ahead of the game, because these both came from the land down under)
Drama Teacher's Network
I connected with this one because the author is a young female teacher in Austrailia, with a strong teaching philosophy and clear posts that are varying and engaging. More narrative at times, but also good tips and different tabs and drop downs to more quickly get to specific topics. I like her advice on just plain teaching too, let's not forget that being a TEACHER is more than half the battle of this career.
The Drama Teacher
This website is bit more professional, more outside resource-filled, with tons of links, plans, rubrics, news, and musings. The author is a teacher in Austrailia as well as the director largest drama teacher's association in Austrailia. His expertise is very clear, and the layout is very easy to navigate, as you can easily be drawn to some of the links on the side that he includes.
I think I'd like this to be a bit of a hybrid of both of these blogs, personal and inspiring but also stuffed to the brims with useful ideas, news, resources and writing from the field. What are some of your favorite blogs, on teaching or on drama or on both?
