Lots of ideas, tips and resources for enhancing learning with tech - especially google apps.

Alice is at the forefront of educational technology. I especially appreciate her blog because there is a great deal of focus on using G Suite tools to improve education and my school is primarily a Google Apps school, making Alice's insights particularly useful.

I selected Alan Levine's blog "CogDogBlog" because of Alan's writing and rants on different kinds of technology, their accessibility, and how they are used for educational purposes.

I stumbled upon Ross Coopers blog while searching for inspiration for my vision for a "perfect" school. I appreciate Ross' insight and advice re. leadership, project-based learning and student choice. He also creates some great visuals.

The Chronicle of Higher Education's ProfHacker blog - a cohort of higher education faculty members and ed tech professionals submit tips and commentary on education, technology, education & college/university. Recent topics include making web content printer friendly, digital annotation, & time management apps.

Audrey Watters describes herself as "an education writer, an independent scholar, a serial dropout, a rabble-rouser, and ed-tech's Cassandra" Hack Education is a weekly roundup of ed tech news, with topical organization and presented with witty commentary. Recent topics include education politics, ethics in the ed tech business, data analytics and open education.

Bjorn is a really interesting guy who I have had the privilege to meet on several occasions. He is an educator from Fair Haven, VT and blogs about a variety of ed tech topics. As a Google Suite geek myself, I am particularly fond of Bjorn's blog, as he frequently posts some really nuanced, useful pointers for leveraging Google apps in new ways.

Tom Barrett's blog. I selected this blog from the list posted in our homework materials. I want to follow him because his posts were about the things we have been talking about (design thinking, twitter chats, etc.), he seems to have a community commenting on his blog posts and I wanted to follow someone who was outside of the Vermont education world (he's from England).

Initially I clicked on his blog because he's from Texas and so am I. I discovered Miguel Guhlin was blogging about digital safety and revamping professional development, and he is interesting and easy to read.

I had the privilege of attending several workshops by Eric at the Model Schools Conference.  Was a catalyst in my tech journey.
