What is THE PUSH?
Every day between now and the ISTE conference, we work together to identify excellent subject-specific blogs that are useful to P-12 teachers. Why? Several reasons…
- To identify blogs that P-12 teachers can use to initially seed (or expand) their RSS readers (e.g., Feedly, Flipboard, Reeder, Pulse)
- To facilitate the creation of online, global (not just local) communities of practice by connecting role-alike peers
- 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
We are looking for blogs with RSS feeds – particularly from P-12 educators – not sites to which we can’t subscribe. This is an effort to update the awesome but now heavily-spammed list we made 5 years ago!

Back in May I shared our process at Prairie Lakes AEA for hiring our new technology integration team. Well, now our team has a new blog, rethink. redesign.
We’re just getting started, but we’ve spent a lot of time over the past few weeks talking about who we we want to be, what we’re going to be about, and how we’re going to do our business. Here’s our thinking behind our new name (and our work)…
#dreambigger. #designforit. #perpetualbeta. That pretty much sums up the work of my team and what we’ll be discussing on our blog. We hope that many of you will join us.
Want to work with us? Learn more about our core beliefs and processes. See how we’re using the Influencer framework to help guide our design work. Get in touch!

Thought I’d share my favorite publicity solicitation to date…
Hi Dr. Scott,
I hope this message finds you well! I recently came across Dangerously Irrelevant and thought you and your readers may be interested in the recent infographic my colleagues and I at ???.com created (below). Our goal is to help delineate a few of the most popular routes towards becoming a teacher. I wanted to share it with you [because reason xyz — personalize based on blog].
A little more about me — my name is ??? ??? and for the past year I’ve had the pleasure of helping grow our online community of educators. I’m very passionate about providing aspiring teachers with the resources they need to develop their career and maximize their potential.
As someone who comes from a family of teachers, I know that each public education teacher’s path to certification will depend on many different factors, but ultimately each will become certified! It is our hope that by offering this guide to aspiring educators that we can help them reach their goal by outlining the steps that lead to certification.
I’d be happy to write up a short article to go along with our graphic if that would be of interest to you.
Best,
??? ???
Gotta love that part in brackets! My response:
Thank you but I’m going to decline this [because reason xyz — personalize based on blog]…
Funny. I never heard back from him…

The Teach100 is an attempt to rank the top education blogs in the world. Most of the ranking system is purportedly objective, with 20% of the rankings an admittedly subjective factor. People will disagree about the order of the rankings, as well as whether we should even rank education blogs in the first place.
I want to focus on a different aspect of the Teach100: the role of individual bloggers versus those blogs that have a larger entity behind them. If you look at Teach100’s top fifty education blogs, most of them have a corporation or media company or some bigger institution behind them.
Mixed in with them, however, are Richard Byrne and David Warlick, former teachers who are now tireless advocates for powerful learning with technology. Larry Ferlazzo, who teaches ESL students in California. Vicki Davis, middle school teacher in Georgia. Shelly Terrell, international school educator. Eric Sheninger, New Jersey principal. Doug Johnson, the technology and libraries director for the Mankato school district in Minnesota. Jose Vilson, New York City math teacher (and the coolest educator I know virtually). And, yes, even a few university professors like Bruce Baker, Tom Whitby, and Jackie Gerstein.
I’m greatly appreciative of the work done by many of the institution-backed blogs. I learn lots from Edutopia, from Valerie Strauss at The Washington Post, and from the ProfHacker folks at The Chronicle of Higher Education. But I’m in complete awe of the individuals who somehow find a way to stand side-by-side with The New York Times, Scholastic, Education Week, Inside Higher Ed, the National Education Association, and the United States Department of Education.
Here’s to the individual bloggers. All of you. Some of you make the big list, most of you don’t. But every day you enrich us in ways previously unimaginable. Thank you for all that you do. Thank you for all that you share.
Keep on bloggin’…
