Digging for Resources
May 20, 2007 | | 1 Comment
This blog has been created as a way for me to share my own personal insights, discoveries, and questions concerning emergent technologies and how they can be incorporated into today’s K-12 classrooms. Specifically, as an elementary school teacher myself, I seek to discover how the web 2.0 technologies of wikis, blogs, and podcasts can be integrated into elementary settings. Along with this I have an interest in virtual math manipulatives, interactive educational websites, streamed video content (from powermediaplus or united streaming), and the evaluation techniques necessary to seperate content rich technologies from those that can be labeled “edutainment”. Sometimes these “edutainment” websites, videos, or even games rely more on glitz than on educational content. Or in other terms, the “mission” gets disoriented in the “packaging”. Kathy Schrock provides numerous analysis tools for educators to evaluate the content and structure of websites. “The ABC’s of Website Evaluation” is a great article written by Kathy, and another resource of hers that is very useful is the teacher web evaluation form.
