Educational+Blogging

The following was originally published April 29, 2009 at http://learningadventure.edublogs.org/2009/04/29/the-scary-business-of-creating-educational-blogs-made-a-bit-easier/ We as educators are being flooded with new technology tools to keep our students engaged. That is wonderful but it is scary business trying to learn this technology and introduce this technology in an educational environment. I think I found some hope for all of us newbies in the educational blogging world. The website [|Tech4Learning] is a great resource for teaching tools, lesson ideas, and created rubrics. I also found a Wiki for the teacher/educator who like to cook. A group of teachers has started a wiki called Blog Tweet Cook. Check it out, you may find this a fun way to get your feet wet and get some good recipes. I thought this was an interesting way to collaborate ( a virtual cookbook). Blog Tweet Cook
