I found this blog through the Edublog Awards 2010 site. The Free Technology for Teachers blog won the 2010 award for Best Individual Blog, Best Resource Blog, as well as Best Educational Tech Support Blog and its content looks very interesting to me, as it includes frequent posts linking teachers to free resources and lesson plans to aid in their teaching with technology. I'm looking forward to this blog providing great up-to-date resources for application in the classroom!

Teaching & Learning in the new information landscape…I found this blog through the Kathy Schrock's Ed Tech Blog Picks page on her site. It is also the blog of one of the author's from the quotes we had the choice of evaluating from the Digital Kids. Analog Schools piece yesterday. I really liked the author, David Warlick's, quotes about technology in education and figured his blog would be interesting to follow. I like how the author primarily poses questions as opposed to answers and feel this blog will be thought provoking for myself as well as offer topic starters for further discussion on technology and education with fellow educators.
I found this blog through a Google search of "early childhood education technology". This blog is dedicated to Early Childhood Education, an area I'm very interested in professionally as well as personally that includes a section and numerous posts on the use of technology in early childhood as well as many other topics related to early childhood education.
I also found the Prekinders site and blog through the same Google search above. It also looks appealing to me as it covers a lot of early childhood related topics of interest to me. They offer a list of recommended Preschool iPod apps here.
I love your first choice-he really is putting up some great resources. I'll check that one again. I also really like your last choice. Your third choice looks like a commercial program, so the posts maybe mostly geared toward the program they are selling, but it does look interesting.
ReplyDeleteGood job!
I agree, I like the idea that there is another site out their besides YouTube that provides short videos that are safe for students of any age and are just as meaningful. Students may not even know the difference nor will they care if technology is truly a part of the students education.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking through your PreKinders blog. I have three little ones at home and found some good ideas on it that can be used in the classroom or at home. I also linked to an interesting Montessori blog, Montessori for Everyone, from the PreKinders blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lauren. I was looking for some blogs like this one. I like what Dr. Shute’s wrote about games that creating videos could make students learn in enjoyable way instead of just playing the video games only.
