Blogging Around the Clock…
If you consider yourself tech-savvy, or are just interested in learning more about online forums and the like, I strongly suggest dropping in regularly on The Savvy Technologist (http://technosavvy.org/). Click on the link to see a recent blog posting that lists many great brainstormed educational uses of iPods and iTunes, including roving reporters, capturing oral histories (family history), podcast vocab words and spelling lists, flashcard practice with iFlash (http://loopware.com/iflash/), and “soundseeing� tours.
The blog is written by Tim Wilson, Technology Integration Specialist at the Hopkins School District in Hopkins, MN, an Apple Distinguished Educator, and a Ph.D. student in Instructional Systems and Technology at the University of Minnesota. It contains information of interest to technology coordinators and integrationists, classroom teachers, and administrators. Most of the articles are related to Internet technologies such as blogs, wikis, online forums, Web standards and accessibility. Some of Tim’s posts are also found at the eSchoolNews Ed-Tech Insider blog where he is a founding contributor.
