The Top 20 Education Blogs
Technorati ranks more than 100,000 blogs with “authority” calculations “based on a site’s linking behavior, categorization and other associated data over a short, finite period of time.” I don’t know what all that means, but it allows for comparison of blogs across and within all categories. The site doesn’t have an “education” category, so it requires going through the comprehensive listing to pick them out one at a time.
The rankings are updated once a day, but here are the top 20 education blogs as of May 16, with their Technorati authority figures (1000 is the highest possible score):
1) Joanne Jacobs – 610
2) The Quick and the Ed – 601
3) Gotham Schools – 584
4) Education Experts (National Journal) – 576
5) Flypaper – 572
6) Curriculum Matters (Education Week) – 562
7) Eduwonk – 556

Jay Mathews wrote about the latest Brookings Institution report on education journalism. He’s optimistic, but he states something important for those who write about education.
