Smart List | 75+ Great Blogs and Email Blasts

We here at Getting Smart really like blogs and email newsletters. They’re a great way to keep up to date on the latest ideas, trends and technologies in education, and they can be a breath of fresh air on days that seem to be grinding away particularly slowly.

If you’re reading this, we think you have pretty good tastes in blogs (if we do say so ourselves) and newsletters (maybe sign up for ours if you haven’t already), so today we’re excited to share these additional 76 resources we think are worth checking out. This list is in no way exhaustive, and could be added to daily as new resources are created, but we think it’s a great place to start!
