Blog Review

In my ongoing review of blog sites for quality educational technology news and ideas, I have found 4 that are worth sharing. EdTechReview.net, EdTechTalk.com, Learningonlineinfo.org, and Stevehargadon.com

Why did you choose these blog sites? I chose these blog site for their relevant content, their easy navigation, and the amount of updates they contained. Many of the blogs I previewed had not been updated in a year or more. Imagine what has happened in technology even in the last year!
􀂙 What did they offer you for your profession development? EdTechReview.net shared an article about Adobe Photoshop. Apparently Adobe is giving photoshop to teachers and students for free! https://www.photoshop.com/express/landing.html

EdTechTalk.com shared a year in review - Teachers Teaching Teachers #107 - What have we learned this year with VoiceThread? 06.04.08
This is an interesting podcast of the new video/audio blogging tool can be used in the classroom.

Learningonlineinfo.org shared a new project to keep kids motivated and attentive. This article is found at How to Keep Students Motivated and Attentive.

Stevehargadon.com shares quite an incredible article in TechLearning blog about what Web 2.0 is doing for schools and for the world at large in his article here.


Or your personal interests? I am personally interested in this topic and I will continue to seek out new and innovative uses of technology for the classroom. I believe technology is the media by which the next generation of students will learn and teachers will teach.
􀂙 Do you plan to continue visiting these blogs? Why or why not?
