All Girls, The National Coalition of Girls' Schools

I chose this feed because I currently work at an all-girls private school.  One thing that I have learned while working at The Hockaday School is that an all-girl environment is like no other in education.  It has many unique benefits and characteristics.  I am sure there is much for me to glean from this blog.


Digital Education Blog, Education Week

This was a great blog that I stumbled upon while searching for information on the Online School for Girls.  I was impressed by this blog because there are categories that include Curriculum, Instruction and Online Learning (three things that I am interested in).  There is also an archive that I am interested in exploring that goes back to September 2008.


November Learning

Alan November came and spoke at Hockaday for Staff Development last year.  When he spoke it was like a lightbulb went off in my head in regards to education and technology.  All the girls at Hockaday have school issued laptops but I have observed that most of the girls in my department are not too excited about them. It's kind of a love/hate relationship because they are constantly having technical problems with them.  

After hearing Mr. November speak I felt like the Residence Department could be doing so much more with the technology that we have at our school.


Spotlight Blog on Digital Media and Learning

This blog highlights people and projects that receive funding and support from the MacArthur Foundation.  There were a couple posts that discussed "girls, technology and learning".   The MacArthur Foundation recognize that the projects that they support are shaping education now and in the future.


The Young and The Digital

This blog interests me because it's main focus is on teens and social media.  The girls that I work with are so connected to everyone and everything.  I am excited to read some of these posts because there is some data that explains this recent phenomena.
