basic description of how the term web 2.0 originated!

The Early Childhood blog is concerned with policy issues and practices relevant to the field of early childhood studies. It is hoped that it will be of interest to students, researchers, and practitioners. Blogs include Ending a child poverty in a changing economy, Majority of chilldren living in poverty have at least one parent in work, Why is the dawn-to-dusk extended schools scheme failing the very families it is meant to help? These blogs are posted by different individuals, foundations and others who are interested in the field of early childhood education.

testing, testing... My first diigo bookmark!

What happens when a preschooler goes online? This report attempts to document how young children use the web. It is illustrated by YouTube clips.

The smart people at Hatch are offering a series of webinars that connect the dots between research, technology, and classroom implementation. It's a great series with really phenomenal speakers. Check it out! http://ow.ly/6qs7i

very cool way to learn and study vocabulary words.....

This website is very creative and fun. However, I do not think it is appropriate for early childhood education. The vocabulary is way too advanced for this age group. Also, while the pictures and videos are funny many of them are inappropriate for children. It is definitely a website for older, more mature students.

search tool for sound clips

Free site that allows for collaborative learning as well as shared resources. I really enjoy the rubrics.

a community for educators to share and collaborate lesson plans and resources.

Great site for creating rubrics....and it's free

very cool way to view pictures and videos.

No need to worry about travel costs or any of that....just skype an author and have your class watch and listen for free...very cool

In case anyone ever asked why twitter is important.....

different approach to viewing and making posts.....

Not that useful for parents and young children. You can create post-its but it seems like there are more effective ways to get your message to someone.

I really like this website. I think think that it could be useful in classroom or with families. In the classroom it could be used to easily access information found online throughout the day or as a means of communication with parents to get their feedback on things that are happening in class. At home you could send a link to you "wall" to different family members and post different photos or even artwork that children have completed. The content that is posted on your "wall" is edited and maintained by the creator, which allows for creativity and monitoring. Overall this was easy to use and could really be a fun way for people to interact!
