Why I love these blogs....and not some others

Blogs on the bright (brilliant, fruitful) side that inspire, provoke, and inform are my favorites. Blogs on the dark (barren, gloomy) side that rant, promote self-worth, and are void of information are my unfavorites. Here are some of my favorite ones on education and assessment.
