This blog was authored by David Andrade, and educator with
quite an extensive background in education and technology. Having held many titles and positions in the
field. He is also a Google Apps Certified Administrator and Deployment
Specialist.
I like this blog because it quite expansive and full of
resources for educators. Some of the
links he offers are for free educator resources. One of my favorite things on this blog is the
“Android for Education Section”. This is important because sometimes Android
users feel left out when looking for educational apps. Especially parents who don’t use Apple
products. Also he provides information
for STEM learning and Project Based Learning.
These are very current educational concepts that even my own children
are working on in school. On the right side bar, there are tabs for resources
in each grade level. Majors on this blog
for being professional, articulate and just a vast resource for educational
technology in general. Very comprehensive!
The author of
this blog is Jeffrey Bradbury. He is a
Google Certified Teacher and Education Trainer.
He is also a PBS Learning Media Digital Innovator and Microsoft
Innovative Educator. He is also the
author of kidblog, a site dedicated to help teachers facilitate blogging with
their students.
This blog
boasts itself as “A Place for Teachers to Help Other Teachers.” It serves to create a community amongst
educators, developers and others with a stake in Educational Technology. It invites others to contribute by blogging
as a guest blogger or as an app reviewer.
I like this site because if you are interested in blogging about
educational technology or usage of it in the classroom you can blog here about
it and have access to their network of subscribers and readers and get feedback
therein.
The author of this site, Stacey Roshan, professes her love
for technology and uses it profusely in her high school math classes and in her
role as a technology coordinator. One of
her favorite tools seems to be Zaption, as I observed many blog posts with
mention of this video editing tool that she uses to turn video clips into
engaging lessons instead of passive viewing. If a tech-savvy educator is ready
to take their usage of technology in the classroom to the next level, this is
the blog to follow. Nevertheless, she
creates video tours as well as written tutorials on how to use specific apps
and hardware to facilitate a state-of-the-art lesson or presentation. Therefore,
the not so tech-savvy learner wouldn’t be lost here either. I think this blog
may even be useful in assignments for Education Technology Courses.
