Top 10 technology blogs every teacher needs to follow in 2026

The 10 technology blogs every teacher should follow in 2026 are Teacher Tech, Dr. Catlin Tucker, Class Tech Tips, Cool Cat Teacher, EdTechTeacher, Shake Up Learning, Control Alt Achieve, Ditch That Textbook, Larry Ferlazzo's Websites of the Day, and Tech & Learning. We opened every one on November 5, 2026, and each showed more than one dated post from 2026.

Education technology blogs are a quick and easy way to learn something new on the fly. Through them you can get inspired, personalize your learning, and connect with other educators. The hard part is sifting. You can search, but you still have to skim, look for keywords, and judge the author's credibility. This list does that first pass for you.

How was this list checked?

A top 10 list is only useful if the sites are alive. Here is the test each blog had to pass, and you can run the same test on any blog a colleague recommends.

1. Open the site. We opened every site and its feed on November 5, 2026, and recorded the date of the latest post.
2. Look for a pattern. One recent post is not enough. A blog had to show more than one dated post in 2026.
3. Find the author. Each blog had to name a real educator or a named publisher, and we confirmed what it covers on its own pages.
4. Check the interest. Several of these writers sell books, courses, or workshops, and Tech & Learning is part of Future plc, a media group. That does not disqualify anyone. You should simply know it when a post recommends a product.

Why do teachers still need these blogs in 2026?

Because most teachers have no formal guidance on AI. In a Gallup and Walton Family Foundation survey of 2,069 U.S. public K-12 teachers in early 2026, 18% reported any formal guidance from administrators on how to use AI. About half (48%) had only informal guidance, and about one-third (34%) had no guidance at all across 10 tasks.

How U.S. K-12 teachers get AI guidance

A good blog does not replace a school policy. It does give a teacher a working example from someone who tried the idea first, and that is often what gets a teacher through this week.

Follow the educators who show their work, and be careful with anyone who only shows you a tool.Ernie Delgado, BeyondK12

The top 10 technology blogs for teachers, and who each is for

1. Teacher Tech

Alice Keeler is one of my all-time favorite educators in technology, and she is the picture of what it means to share and give back. If you are a Google school, you need to know her. Recent posts run from Canva tips to connecting Google Classroom to AI with Apps Script. You may fall down the rabbit hole.

2. Dr. Catlin Tucker

Catlin Tucker has written 11 books and hosts a podcast, The Balance. Her focus is blended learning, Universal Design for Learning, and student-led learning. You do not have to be an English teacher to appreciate what she shares.

3. Class Tech Tips

Dr. Monica Burns keeps the focus on why before how, which is easy to forget while planning a lesson. Her Easy EdTech Podcast reached episode 395 in November 2026, and her site has a section on AI resources.

4. Cool Cat Teacher

Vicki Davis started this blog in 2005 and works as an instructional technology coach. It is especially good for beginning teachers because it comes from a veteran. She also hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast.

5. EdTechTeacher

This one comes from a team, so you get a wide range of perspectives. Its September 2026 post on Google AI tools shows the style: tools a school already has, with a practical prompting tip.

6. Shake Up Learning

Kasey Bell covers AI tools, Gemini, Google Classroom, and more. Her posts are easy to read in that long line at the grocery store. She also hosts The Shake Up Learning Show.

7. Control Alt Achieve

Eric Curts is an Ohio technology integration specialist with over 30 years of experience. His blog shares free resources on AI, Google tools, and assistive technology, including templates and training videos.

8. Ditch That Textbook

Matt Miller spent more than a decade in the classroom. The blog offers ideas you can use tomorrow, a recent comparison of AI classroom tools, and a free online conference each December.

9. Larry Ferlazzo's Websites of the Day

Larry Ferlazzo taught English language learners and mainstream students for 23 years in Sacramento. His curated lists of free sites and tools are hard to beat for English learner and social studies teachers.

10. Tech & Learning

Tech & Learning is a publication, not a personal blog, and it earns the last spot for range. In one week you will find a tool explainer, an AI how-to, and a column for school leaders.

A bonus: our own BeyondK12 blog, where we write about AI readiness, digital literacy, and funding for school leaders and teachers.

How do you follow 10 blogs without drowning?

Do not follow all 10 at once. I like a tool called Feedly, which collects your blogs in one place so you do not have to visit each site. Pick two or three blogs, add them, and read once a week. Information on the go, what's not to love?

Where to start this week

Pick one blog from the table, read its latest post, and try one idea in class. If you lead a school, ask three teachers what they read, because that tells you what your staff is learning without you. Our teacher professional development can turn that self-directed learning into a shared plan.

To see where your school stands on guidance and training, take the free AI Readiness Assessment. Eight questions give you a score out of 24 across Policy, People, Curriculum, Guardrails, and Funding.
