Interesting and safe blogs for kids. Kids from around the world add stories, pictures, and videos of experiences from around the world. Good site to allow children to look through freely.
Blog rules are clearly posted. Sub blogs, like DogEared (about books), Green Scene (about taking care of the planet), and You Are Here (searching for landmarks) are cool for kids to post pictures of themselves and find out about cultures, animals, and trends around the world. This would be good for kids!
Capzles is an online social storytelling tool and online timeline maker. Through Capzles, you can also share photos, videos, text, music and documents easily. Using the online application, students can create digital storytelling tools using photos and videos to illustrate and enhance text-based stories, such as literature or historical accounts. The possibilities are endless, and all up to the creativity of the students!
I like this wiki. It had the information need without adding extra information that can sometimes happen in wikis. The fact that the site is protected so that random people can just add information to the site. Also this wiki is up to date. It gives a lot on link to outside resources. I can see myself using this resource in the future.
I really like this wiki. It almost seems more like a blog, with stories on education instead of articles. I really like that it has a sign-in system to prevent from random and unwanted changes! This will be a resource I return to.
This is a great blog, it is also one that is posted daily. This makes it extremely useful and worth my time to check. She has so many resources for any type of technology out there. This is blog is designed for teachers but is useful for students in the college of education.
Vicki Davis is a pioneer for using online applications and Web 2.0 with students. She is a superwoman! I agree with Hailey, this blog is extremely useful for teaching candidates, because it provides us with real life examples (Vicki's students and the FCP) of how online education is working! I think this resource would prove more useful to teachers because it discusses many different things that a teacher might face, and she also relates personal stories for examples. It kind of gives us some perspective on what we might expect when using web apps and online learning in the classroom. Angela Maeirs' education blog is a similar type of blog, and both women are incredibly inspiring teachers.
I have been following this blog for a little over a year now. I feel like this blog is an excellent resource for teachers. This blog shows educators how they can incorporate these new applications or tools into their own teaching. This is one of the best educational blogs that I have ever come across.
This is the first time I have seen this blog. I believe this is a great way for educators to learn new ways to incorporate new tools into their classrooms. It seems to update often, and I plan on viewing this resource in the future, because of the interesting topics that are being blogged about.
