July 20, 2006 · No Comments

You may have noticed a new category on the right hand side of the blog.  I’ve been asked to list some of the blogs that I read and how they could help promote student learning.  Here it goes:

2 Cents Worth- David Warlick is constantly pushing the envelope of what is out there for technology, classroom applications, as well as classroom philosophy.

Around the Corner-MGuhlin.net-Miguel is a technology supervision in San Antonio, Texas and technology champion.  Like David he is on the forefront of what is going on and the potential impact.

Cool Cat Teacher-  Vicky Davis is a middle school classroom teacher who gets it.  She not only talks the talk but walks the walk.  It is nice to get insight from the trenches and not just observers.

Creating Passionate Users- Kathy Sierra is not a classroom teacher but her insights with technology can easily be applied to the classroom.  She also includes interesting visuals to help make her points. 

Education/Technology-Tim Lauer-  Here is a principal who gets technology and it use in the classroom.  Tim is a principal at an elementary school in Portland, OR and champions technology in the classroom.  He is constantly letting his teachers take risks if they feel it will help promote student learning.

Every One Learns-Pedagogy, Technology, Motivation-Mike Muir is a Mainah.  It is great to get the local perspective on technology in the classroom.  Mike teaches at UMFarmington and what he preaches sound education pedagogy with technology.

Moving at the Speed of Creativity-  Wes Fryer is the author and he is Educational Technology Specialist in Oklahoma.  He and Miguel share common passions with technology and education.

Stephen’s Web-Stephen Downes, a Canadian’s perspective, eh!  Stephen is
very insightful and forward thinking.  He shoots straight from the hip.

Teach42-Education and Technology, by Steve Dembo-Steve is another one who gets it.  Steve is a blogger who offers great insight.

Thoughts from a Technospud-Jennifer Wagner looks at technology usage in the classroom through classroom projects.  Jennifer has started a blog to help with her insight and the impact of technology in the classroom. 

Weblogg-ed-Will Richardson, the guru of educational blogging.  Enough said!

If I didn’t mention your blog don’t take it personally, look at my bloglines feeds to get more great authors out there.
