The first blog that caught my eye was the Free Tech for
Teachers. One of its most popular blogs was called “90 Page Guide to Using
Blogger In School”. Which is pretty much what we plan on doing. Here is the
link.
It is a great guide. The first thing in this guide is a
small tutorial on how to use blogger on an android tablet. There is also a
section on how to use it on the Ipad. With tablets widely used by schools now a
days, this is surely to come in handy.
Like we have read and discussed, the 3 major use for the blogs are to
distribute, discuss and demonstrate ideas. In this blog there are many helpful
suggestions on how to manage, activity suggestions and where to get media for
use on blogs. The bulk of the manual is stuff we have viewed on the videos. But
in case you are somewhere that needs to be in silence, this a great reference
to look at.
I try
to use my Ipad and my Iphone as often as possible in the classroom. It seems to
catch the student’s attention and honestly, keeps my attention as well. So when
I see Ipad and/or Iphone on any blog, I read it. In the Emerging Education
Technology blog I follow, they have app updates. The link to that is:
Every month, this blogs gives reviews of apps that can be
used in the classroom. With the review, the price of the app and a quick
synopsis is given. There are also links for more information about the app.
Besides his review, review posts are also shown. The most helpful ones are the
ones submitted by other teachers who have used the app. If you are an apple
product user, I highly recommend this blog.
