Must-Read K-12 Blogs

I'm a huge fan of sharing ideas, especially through the many many different blogs that are floating around the internet. The only problem is that there are so many blogs around that it gets overwhelming trying to sift through to find the good ones. I've just come across this list '50 Must-Read K-12 IT Blogs 2013' by EdTech Magazine which will hopefully make finding some great blogs much easier for you. The blogs listed are all authored by a combination of teachers, librarians, administrators and technology experts. They share real-world classroom experiences, offer inspiration and ideas and distribute valuable best practises.

Library Guides from the State Library

Librarians from the State Library of Victoria have put together some Library guides on a range of different subject areas in order to help people with their research. These are pretty much to guide you through the research process in order to shorten the time you spend searching for information. The guides will help you find books, pictures, maps, documents, newspapers and online tools and resources to help you with your research.

The following is just a small selection of the types of guides that have been created:
1. Aboriginal people and the law
2. Bushfires
3. Court cases in Australia
4. How to find items in Newspapers
5. Magic and magicians
6. Victorian immigration and emigration
7. Water
8. Protest, advocacy and dissent in Victoria
9. Adoption and forgotten Australians
10. Finding poetry

There are also 28 other guides on a range of topics. You can see the entire list here.
