Edublog, which is a blog search engine used for teachers by teachers to list specific types of educational blogs, varying from teacher-based professional development educational blogs where teachers list lesson plans and classroom management strategies to classroom blogs teachers have incorporated student work into, to still others like personal narratives and educational blogs devoted only to technology instruction (Edublog, 2013). Flierl & Fowler (2007) list Edublogs.org as one of their web-watch educational blogs, listing it as a blog-hosting site that allows K-12 teachers, professors, and students to host their own blogs even if not technologically inclined.
