After considerable frustration trying to use an RSS feed from any major media site... I turned to blogs!
RSS is a great tool to be kept updated on news or blog posts from favorite sites.

Week 4: Thing 7
The beginning of the great Wiki Exploration.
While it was difficult to find early elementary teachers using wikis... they have the potential to be a good resource to collaborate with other teachers, map the units and activities you do throughout the year, or two involve parents in classroom learning.
Maybe I'll have to make my own wiki to put links for the other ideas...
unless you know of one?!

Week 3: Things 5 &6
Exploring educational blogs:
1. This blog is written by a former Kindergarten teacher now working at Discovery Education. It's mostly his musings about life on the internet; what's relevent now and how it's effecting children or students. So far it seems to have some interesting topics.
http://www.teach42.com/
2. I'm really excited about helping another teacher start using her iPad with her class. This directed us toward Fraser Speirs' http://speirs.org/ and his listings of how you could use different technology in your classroom, or how his project on using iPad's in classrooms is going.
3. Written by a science teacher as a place for dialogue or discussion about education topics, but also follows some of the "experiments" going into their class. http://www.nucleuslearning.com/
4. Great topics!! Each post is a discussion of a new topic related to education. Questions like: Should cell phones be allowed on assignments and assessments? or What do Administrators need from teachers? http://dangerouslyirrelevant.org/ discusses some great questions!
5. This blog began as a place to show teachers how to integrate technology into their teaching so the early posts are very focused on this (Years of posts, honestly). The most recent posts however, have started to follow the thinking of the author from his current administrative stand point... and it's still interesting! http://technosavvy.org/
6. I have no idea what this blog is about but I've been enraptured by the explanation of drop.io http://fiftynineminutes.blogspot.com/ something I've heard about but didn't comprehend. It's awesome.
Start at http://drop.io/
7. Thoughts about gifted learners. http://anotsodifferentplace.blogspot.com/
8. Kindergarten blog! Exciting stuff happening in "Cindy"s Classroom. http://kdgroom102.blogspot.com/
Just the beginning!
