A blog site that I think is great, and it is vast and huge, is:http://www.freetech4teachers.com/. The blog's author is Richard Bryne. I do not know how long this blog has been available or why he started it. He has 19,000 daily readers, and he is a Google Certified Teacher. This site deals with newly developed software trends and their application in an educational environment. He offers help with starting a PLN - professional learning environment, Google Tutorials, projects with web tools, video creation, and creating blogs and websites. In addition, there are content specific links to curriculum and instruction. This is an impressive site. He also helps with RSS feeds and the posts are label for categorization.
The most recent post is for an application called Spaaze. It is an online "sticky note" function that teachers can use to organize and highlight information found on the web. Seems like an interesting application. He also offers several links to uses of Spaaze.
I encourage you all to visit this site.

Andy,
ReplyDeleteI looked at this website too and thought it was one of the better ones so have bookmarked it as one where I cold keep up with new educational technology. On another note, I read all your blogs and thought your idea of an "intranet" blog for teachers within our own school district to post/discuss educational ideas. While I think that is a great idea, I also don't want to see us lose the "face-to-face" educational sharing and dialogue. The educational discussions our 2nd & 4th grade teams have been having lately because of the RtI pilot effort have been so awesome! I would hate to lose that aspect. Diane
