Finding Other Blogs
As I was browsing some new educational blogs, I found a familiar name - Kathy Schrock. Anyone who has been an elementary teacher will recognize this name. For years and years and years, Kathy Schrock has been offering up educational ideas and tips. He blog site URL is http://kathyschrock.net/edtechblogs.htm. Over the years she has had 4 blogs. She has been blogging since 2004 and began blogging to explore other avenues of providing and gathering information from educators. She has had a blog titled "Lighthouse Learning Island." This blog was literally about a professional learning community she had developed on an island near Cape Cod. It is disbanding in August of 2010 & so this blog will be no more. She has a second blog titled "Nauset Public Schools Podcasts" where she posts podcasts of what appears to be district inservices. A third blog is called "Cache the Wave" and has items of interest to the gadget geeks of the ed tech world. The final blog is her newest and is called "Kathy Schrock's Kaffeeklatsch" and is designed to share in a very low key way the newest things. Her most recent posts were about Google's Doc Viewer and Apple's new iPads. I found this blog to be very teacher friendly and one that I would share with my staff.

HELP! How in the world did I get the foreign language title and label? I have no idea what I did. As I typed both items, that's the text that showed up. I cannot find any options to change it back to English. Diane

Thanks, Ron for the help. I was able to change the labels back to English. Diane
ReplyDeleteKathy Schrock has been a favorite for years. I've never met her in person but she is practically legendary! What is cool about the web now is that we can get information from some pretty impressive people.
ReplyDeleteI love Alan November - you can on his site and find his list of favorite bookmarks shared through delicious - we are certainly breaking down walls and building knowledge webs that are infinitely expanding!

Vicky,
ReplyDeleteI checked out Alan November's website today, but was disappointed when I checked his list of favorite bookmarks on delicious that the newest one had been added in 2008. Plus when I checked out one on plate tectonics because that's a big science unit in our fourth grade curriculum, it was no longer a viable site.
