Keeping Up w/ Emerging Technologies and Their Use

Good morning, all.

I'd like to see if you can name some specific ways in which you stay current w/ the almost daily changes in use of technology in your classrooms. I teach middle school (6th and 7th grade), so I'm especially interested in hearing from the tech teachers.

Specifically, which sites, blogs, and people do you most consult in order to stay on top of things? Which other resources do you use? Best practices?

Thank you all so much. :)

I use RSS, Bloglines for me, but others will work. Twitter is also an excellent way to keep up with what is going on. Check out my wiki for more information. http://gmiller.wikispaces.com

RSS is the best way to keep up to date with technology through blogs. It helps to keep you from going back and forth between the pages. It updates you when they update the blog.
