Google Reader

During my class, I have learned MANY new things about technology and resources that are on the internet. Part of this journey has been following blogs on Google Reader. I have enjoyed very much reading all of the blogs I picked to follow and learning so much from them. Many of them have all kinds of free resources that can be found on the web, most of which I would have never thought to even look for! The seven blogs I have been following are:

Free Technology for Teachers:  http://www.freetech4teachers.com/
A Media Specialist's Guide to the Internet:  http://mediaspecialistsguide.blogspot.com/
Cool Cat Teacher Blog: http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/
Elementary Teacher Resources, Get the Resources You Need:  http://www.elementary-teacher-resources.com/elementary-teacher-resources-blog.html
Larry Ferlazzo's Website of the day...For Teaching ELL, ESL, and EFL:  http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/
NEA-States Embracing PreK & Full-Day K Programs: http://www.nea.org/
Will:  http://willrichardson.com/

My favorite blog is Free Technology for Teachers. This website explains so many cool ways to be online and have a whiteboard, the Diigo accounts, and so many other technological advances that I didn't even know could be used in the classroom. My favorite blog this whole time was: "Video - The Last U.S. Veteran of WWI" via Free Technology for Teachers by noreply@blogger.com (Mr. Byrne) on 9/23/11. This is an amazing interview from the last live veteran of WWI. The veteran died in February of 201- he was 110 years old! I think it is so important to share historical information like this with our younger students. These students have no idea of what life was like during those times and it is amazing to have captured this veteran in a video interview explaining all of that to us. There are very few times in life where we can say,"I saw for myself a veteran from WWI talking about his experience"...that never happens!!!
