ICT in my Classroom
Tom Barrett produces a wonderfully practical blog which contains many ideas on how to integrate technology into the classroom. A great place to start for someone looking to take technology one step further. He teaches upper-primary kids.
Sharing the Addiction
Suzie Vesper, and ICT facilitator in NZ, writes this blog on 'Sharing the addiction' . I find it useful to get new ideas and information on the latest tools available.

Blogs that amuse me
Blog Idle
To quote her byline, "Moata Tamaira is the winner of Stuff.co.nz's Blog Idol competition. She's also a librarian with a black-belt in sarcasm who's been meaning to get one in procrastination too but always ends up watching TV instead. Her blog is an unholy mash-up of whimsy, cynicism and wry observation."

The Generator Blog
This blog has links to more generators on the web than I've had hot dinners.
Blogs for classroom teachers
Room 9
Michael Fawcett is a NZ teacher who has a lovely class blog. What I like about it is that there is a lot of input from the kids (see his blogging template for details), and you regularly see the work the students produce in class.

Little Voices, Little Scholars
This is Jenny She's class blog with kids aged 5 and 6. This is a good example to show how ICT is being integrated with the little guys.
