Oh my, I have so much to say about this blog. I checked this one out because of the title and I am so glad I did. Richard posts technology tools for the classroom that are useful and free. I loved it. For example, he just put up a post leading us to a website that puts the weeks news into a rap song. He has the current weeks news up on a youtube video so you can see a sample. The rap is clever and intriguing. I think the students would love this.
He also posted the following things that I went through: GIS in the classroom (a detailed description of his use of the website and why/how he thinks this would be helpful in a classroom), Podictionary (a site that features one word a day, its spelling, grammar, and history), KMLFactbook (a site that allows you to input data and it maps the data sets around the world, Richard talks about how this has been useful to him and recommends it), and Creative Commons (a slideshow and youtube video that discusses the different aspects of creative commons and how a student can successfully follow copyright rules).
This blog is a wealth of knowledge. I am finding that the best way to use the web is with each other. The blogging platform is such a valuable tool because it puts us in touch with bits and pieces of information that we can really use to enhance our teaching and personal lives.
