HELP WANTED - THE PUSH: Family / consumer sciences education blogs

A weekly newsletter featuring the biggest ideas from the smartest people

By all accounts THE PUSH has been a big success. However, some areas are more difficult than others. For example, yesterday we only identified 1 excellent drama / theater education blog. That’s sad, because a blog would be a great way to publicize and highlight dramatic works. The possibilities for embedded video, for example, are endless. Here’s how we’re doing in other areas:

21 special education blogs,

2 vocational / applied / industrial technology education blogs (we need more of these!),

5 physical / health education blogs (we still need more of these too),

9 music education blogs,

14 art education blogs,

11 world languages education blogs,

12 Social Studies education blogs,

17 English / language arts education blogs,

29 science education blogs, and

29 math education blogs.

Today we focus on FAMILY / CONSUMER SCIENCES EDUCATION. What are some excellent family / consumer sciences education blogs that P-12 FACS educators should be reading? We need both elementary and secondary examples. If you know of some, please add them to the Moving Forward wiki.

Why are we doing this?

To identify blogs that P-12 teachers can use to initially seed (or expand) their RSS readers

To create a single location where P-12 educators can go to see excellent subject-oriented educational blogging

To highlight excellent disciplinary blogging that deserves larger audiences

To learn from disciplines other than our own and get ideas about our own teaching and/or blogging

Thanks in advance for helping with this initiative. If we all contribute, two weeks from now we should have a bevy of excellent subject-specific blogs to which we can all point. Please spread the word about THE PUSH!
