One of the blogs I have really enjoyed this week and last week is Sharing Technology. The information given in this blog has been real useful in my teaching. Incorporating new websites in my classroom that are interactive for my students has helped engage my students in subjects they may have otherwise found difficult. I liked how this blog included a link to a website that has story-ebooks for Science. My students can use this during computer time or I can post this link on our classroom website for them to learn more about a certain topic, such as the watercycle.
Another thing I found through my blog subscription is a link to a site called Glogster Edu. I was so excited to see this website because it allows you to create an "interactive poster" online. I can already start using this tool with my students because whenever we do research projects I have my students put all their information on a poster. However, this goes beyond paper and pencil. The students can include graphics, text, and video to share the information they learned on a particular subject. This link includes student samples of what kids can do with glogster with all the core subjects!
I, too, have been amazed at how many blogs are available for use in education. Sharing blogs is a good way to get variety; I sometimes tend to search similar things, so I enjoy blogs shared by my classmates.
