Other blogs to check out with a brief description/review:




http://teaching21c.blogspot.com/: Although the original link is out of date, it was still helpful in its links to tips on teaching with media. It directs you to Edutopia, VoiceThread, iGoogle, and Wordle. The updated blog is brilliant in its example on using twitter as a teacher and its helpful suggestions for students.


http://www.edutopia.org/reinvent-assessment-21st-century: This site has an article entitled “Guest Blog: Reinventing Assessment for the 21st-Century.” It is an insightful article that triggers much thought about how to balance fundamental skills with technology. Both are much need and in my opinion should be taught simultaneously whenever possible.


http://teacherofthe21stcentury.blogspot.com/ : This blog is about a teacher's experiences using technology and doing different presentations. Her ambitions about future business opportunities in education is inspiring. I also enjoyed how she called out teachers who are afraid of the technology because they may not be needed. However, that's my goal. To be a facilitator of learning, not to spoon feed knowledge to my students. This blog makes me want to begin to document my experiences as well.


http://passionforlearningandteaching.blogspot.ca/: This blog is awesome and full of ideas! Not only is this teacher incorporating technology, but the entire school is supporting the 21st classroom model environment. Adding parental involvement related to technology during the elementary years is genius! I am going to continue to follow this blog.
