For my blog review I have focused on the
Education - Telegraph Blogs. I found this blog particularly useful when keeping up to date with current education news as the posts are based on the hot topics in the news today, with a focus on what is going on in schools if not with a strong political underpin.
Initially, when sourcing 'educational blogs' on the internet searches I found myself struggling, I had come across a few blogs that took my fancy, although they were not solely based on education, they would only have the odd post weekly based on the topic but they would also cover a wide variety of news stories. My favourite blog of all is
The Parentdish found in my blog list, many of the education based stories are controversial but also focus on what is happening within our schools today.
Back on topic, I chose the Education blog from the Telegraph for my review as the information is being communicated by a newspaper and therefore I believed that it was a more trustworthy source to use for academic purposes. Although I found the blog informative I also noticed that the author(s) were very left wing and their view were extremely pro David Cameron and Michael Gove never questioning them, and even though I sit on the fence with Cameron as a Prime Minister, Gove has a lot of view with regards to education that I disagree with. With this in mind I did find some of the blog posts irritating and bias towards the Tory party.
Overall the blog is useful and informative and I would use it in the future to keep up with current affairs in the education sector.
