This blog focuses on celebrity gossip and rumors with a humorous attitude. While I find it entertaining and comedic at times, it often holds nothing but criticism and opinions. It exploits the lives of many people in the spotlight, and often jumps to conclusions that are not true. Not all posts are harmful as it reports the death of Joe Paterno and the announcement of Beyonce and Jay-Z's baby, but sometimes it goes as far as to post a picture of famous super model, and comment on her weight gain of SO MUCH weight, which probably translates to five pounds. Regardless, millions read this blog every day to remain "up" on the latest news, and it may arguable be the most popular form of guilty pleasure amount young adults. This blog proves that while anything can, and will, be posted on the internet, there is nothing wrong with ready it for entertainment, taking it with a grain of salt, and forming your own opinions.

This blog addresses many popular trials and tribulations of being a school psychologist. Being that this is the field I wish to go into, I found it insightful, entertaining, and easy to use. It is extremely interactive using poles and surveys, and always makes a place for readers to add their point of view. There is a ton of help from other psychologists who contribute and feed off of each other. I think the best asset of this blog was a section for parents to express their feelings on how school psychologists should and currently do deal with their children. It allows for the professionals to see what is appreciated and what is not. I think this is a great blog because it appeals to many people, while still remaining on one common topic.

This blog is that of a kindergarten teacher. It covers everything from great lesson plans, awesome books, troublesome students, and adorable stories. She also often posts things unrelated to teaching that may also grab the attention of teachers as well. Other teachers are able to communicate through this blog by posting their ideas, or by using others. She enhances the blog by using pictures and video to explain projects, and display her classroom set up.
The latter two sites are both very practical. That's good; it provides a real service of advice on a practical vocation or activity, which is a niche that many blogs fit, bringing them to a wide readership.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised the URLs didn't automatically hyperlink. A next level of sophistication is to make the hyperlinks yourself, hiding the URLs. More readable that way.
