The first is NCTE Comprehensive News Feed which seems to be a great connecting tool for teachers and educators nationwide. It is written by Deborah and has links pertaining specifically for elementary, middle, secondary, and college teachers.
My second subscription is Cool Cat Teacher Blog, a more relaxed, fun source which also deals with technology in the classroom and a variety of related ideas.
Next, Discussion Forum, which is just that: a forum for teachers to connect, toss around questions and ask for ideas. As I am preparing to teach English myself, I see this as a very helpful tool to see the questions that come and see the problems or concerns that often arise.
And then, eLearn Magazine. I love this one. It is all about using technology to teach. It's main page reads, "Education and Technology in Perspective," and that is exactly what it is. It lists ways utilize technology in a teaching mode and even offers training on how to do so.
Next, The Power of Educational Technology. Also, another great source for how to utilize technology in an educational manner. As with eLearn Magazine, it is full with insights for how to use the influx of new technological tools.
The Thinking Stick. This is the blog of Jeff Utecht from Bangkok, Thailand. Some of his recent blogs are exploring the radical shift towards complete screen exposure. Along with these articles, he includes posts regarding teaching and learning seminars which should also be an interesting read.
Chinese Forums is next on my list. This page is designed for those continuing their understanding of Mandarin Chinese. They are able to post questions, discuss the problems others seem to have, and even discuss the opportunities available to use this language.
I also included news pages, such as the New York Times, the International New York Times, and the BBC News Asia-Pacific, along with the blog of my group-mate, Christie Cochrane. I really enjoy the news, and love to be up to date with the events happening at home as well as world wide.
Allison,
ReplyDeleteGreat description of the feeds you chose. They look interesting! The only thing missing is a screenshot of your Google Reader so we can see that you were able to subscribe to them in Reader correctly.
If you're on a mac, try shift+apple+4 and drag the crosshairs over the thing you want to take a picture of. It will show up on your desktop as a pdf. If on a pc, use the 'print screen' option and paste it into Microsoft Paint and save it as a .jpg or .png or something. Good luck!
There was confusion about when this assignment was due because of MLK day, so I'm counting everything turned in by this last Monday. Because your assignment was on time, you can resubmit this for full credit.
