Let's share links to our blogs!

I recently came across a few long-standing blogs that never crossed my path during my Google searches, and I was thinking that a Classroom 2.0 discussion about blog-sharing might be helpful, since we are members of "the social network for educators using collaborative technologies".

If you have a blog you'd like to share, either your own, or one that you'd recommend, post a reply with a link to the blog, the author's name, the focus of the blog, and perhaps a few words about why you find it interesting or useful.

Update: Follow me on Twitter

Here are my blogs:

TechPsych
Interactive Multimedia Technology

I have another blog that I use to post my reflections about what I'm learning in my mid-life journey as a computer/tech student:
The World Is My Interactive Interface

(I changed the name of the blog to reflect my current topics.)

Update 6/15/10

It has been a very busy school year! The exciting news is that one of my schools has a multi-touch SMARTTable, and every classroom has an interactive whiteboard. The teachers worked very hard to ramp up their IWB skills and I'm amazed at how quickly this interactive technology was adopted. Of course, interactive applications and websites are pretty awesome on a huge screen or display! The best part is that this technology has opened up the minds of a good number of students with severe autism characteristics.

In April, I participated in a workshop at ACM's 2010 CHI conference. The topic of the workshop focused on the next generation of human-computer interaction and education.

I also joined the SparkOn group, "a social platform for people that are sparked (inspired) by creative and emergent technologies".

My blog is "Thinking About Learning." I'm a technology integration specialist in a K-5 elementary school. I write about the things I'm learning about educational technology and about how I share what I learn with students and teachers at my school.

I am the computer teacher in a K-6 private school. I have a blog in Classroom 2.0 http://www.classroom20.com/profile/Raine22 where I write about things that I think might be interesting to other technology teachers. I follow our teacher at sea as he embarks on amazing voyages and connects with classrooms around the world. As he gears up for the Vendee Globe 'around the world alone.,' I am trying to encourage as many people around the world to follow his incredible free journey that demonstrates real world applications for geography, history, navigation, science, fitness, technology and more. http://www.sitesalive.com More news to come as it unfolds. I also talk about short activities that I do with kids that connect them with others in the global community--whether it's a web designer, a pianist, an author, an English teacher or a student. We are all embarking on this learning adventure together. I always feel like I am a novice in technology integration which motivates me to learn more and read all that teachers share in their own experiences.

Here's mine. I just started blogging with my first grade class. I would love to see other primary teachers blogs and have my class comment them and you do the same for us!

I signed up for Twitter, but I haven't had time to use it. Maybe over break I will explore it.

You will like it. I recommend, to avoid frustration.... start following someone and follow the people they follow so you can get a feel for how the conversations flow. Feel free to do that with my network. See you online.

Hello all!

My blog is e-Learning 4 Empowerment. The main purpose of this blog is to promote the debate of ideas regarding the connections between e-learning and the progress of people who live in developing countries, such as Brazil. Hope to see you there :)
