The Committed Sardine

Hello everyone,

Happy New Year! Hard to believe 10 years have passed since the millenium. One can only wonder what technological wonders await us in the decades to come. This will actually be my focus at the next staff meeting when I give a presentation on how technology is going to impact education. That ties in to today's blog posting.

Blogs are an increasingly common way of sharing information. Last year I used a program called Edublogs which allowed students to be able to write in a blog and respond to questions that I posed. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of blogs on every conceivable subject. A good one that I have found is called The Committed Sardine and can be found by clicking on the link. It is an informative site with lots of relevant articles on technology and education. If you click on Resources you will find digital handouts that you can read. Some of them include "Understanding Digital Kids I & II", "Living on the Future Edge" and "Teaching for tomorrow". The articles are not very long but are well worth reading.

I will be incorporating information from them in my presentation. If you click on the Blog link on the home page, you come to a very interesting blog that is updated daily with links to the latest and bizarre happenings in the world of technology. Some of them are very interesting while others are extremely funny and good for a laugh. Check it out.
