    Twitter is a social networking site. It can be very beneficial to educators if you follow colleagues and prominent figures in education. Twitter allows you to share articles and resources that are relevant to their interests and education. When you follow people who are in the education you can find lots of new valuable resources that are posted.

    I currently have a twitter account, but do not use it that often. I think if used for the right reasons, it can be very benefical to educators. Twitter is a great way to share ideas and new resources with other educators. I would highly recommend using twitter with colleagues and not students. Trying to find a way to incorporate twitter with your students could create an unsafe learning environment, and would be hard to monitor all students especially in the younger grades.

    Dear Twitter Tweethearts! I have a twitter account and I love it! I follow celebrities mostly though just to get in on the good gossip. Just for this reason though, I don't think it should be used for schools. Perhaps at the collegiate level like I have done in some of my classes, but for high school or younger could possibly break out into bullying on the website towards a student and in some cases a teacher.

    Twitter is a very popular social networking site that many businesses, celebrities, and peers use to interact with each other. I have often been told to use twitter in my classroom. However, I am hesitant about doing this. As Joe mentioned, I do not think I would want my students to get involved in twitter during school hours under my supervision. As with Facebook, I believe twitter has the potential to become more of a distraction than a positive. It could open up a window for cyber-bulling and gossiping. On the other hand, I can see that having a twitter account to keep in contact with parents could be beneficial.

    I found this article very interesting. Engagement and classroom management are two aspects of teaching that always use improvement, and can become tricky in 1-1 situations. Using Twitter is not something I would thing would help engagement, but I would certainly like to try after reading this article

    Vicki Davis, who runs the Cool Cat Teacher blog, is also active on Twitter and posts insightful tweets.

    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 like how there are daily posts to the website. As a teacher candidate i would consider using this site a lot in the future.

    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.
  • Joe Johnson on 14 Nov 11
     
    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.

    If your looking for the right web 2.0 tool to meet a specific level of Blooms Taxonomy this is the place to go. A detailed chart indicating which tools associate in each area.
  • Diana Boeck on 29 Oct 11
     
    This resources use of a pyramid allows teachers to quickly differentiate what technological tools will be most appropriate for specific learning goals matched to Bloom's Taxonomy. This will mainly be used by teachers but some students will find it easy to understand and can use it for developing student-lead projects that are on the Bloom's "create" level. I do not know of any other resources that link taxonomy and technology together in such an efficient manner.

    Thanks for sharing this resource Destery. Lately, apps for mobile devices (particularly iOS devices) organized by Blooms has been buzzing on Twitter. Here is a site called "Bloomin' Android," by Kathy Schrock, that organizes Android apps on the revised Blooms Taxonomy. (http://kathyschrock.net/androidblooms/).

    I went out and found the "Bloomin iPad" information she put together as well. I found quite a few helpful apps on the list, thanks for the information.

    This is great. Just learned about Bloom last month. It is good to have a resource that will help in directing me towards apps that will go along with the targeted part of the taxonomy. I think this will be used mostly by teachers.
