This is the first blog post I have ever made and my first blog assignment for EDFN 302. I am unsure of the proper protocol in blogging, but seeing as this is an education oriented blog, I will attempt to keep a relatively formal tone and structure to my entries.
This week, my assignment was to explore some different educational blogs of others and report back here to my own. The first blog I checked out is entitled "Always Learning". I liked it because it presented teachers as if they are students themselves, and displayed the wonderful improvements that can happen to a school when everyone also works on professional development.
Another blog I looked at had some great information on professional development as well, and unbeleivable amounts of information on every gadget or use of technology a teacher or anyone could ever need or imagine. This is called "High Techspectations".
The "21st Century Fluency Project" is a great source for understanding and exposure to new technology and appreciating what it all has to offer. This blog has posts from many different sources and was quite dynamic in its presentation of this information.
Although all of these blogs have been interesting and helpful, I have decided to follow "eLearning Technology" this semester. It offers a more conceptual view of how technology can be learned and used along with great and plentiful information about the kinds of technology that I may need to understand when I get to the classroom.
