Web 2.0

I have enjoyed many of the courses we've had, but I think this one might be the best. I've been thinking about how I can use blogging in my classes, and right now, I think the best way is to be an informational type blog for parents and students. I'm hoping I can add project information about what the students are doing in library class to my blog. It will be interesting to get one started and available soon. 

 I've been able to look at a number of blogs and I'm going to link to the ones I like.  The first one is the Technorati site. It's one if I link to now I'll be able to search others in the future. Another one I found I liked is Tea reads. The author is a librarian and discusses attitudes and books being read. A third one I found I liked, and every teacher should read is budtheteacher blogspot, especially if you need a good pat on the back! (I'm going to have to make a list in the side of my blog just to list all the good blogs I like). A fourth one is Leader Talk. It leads me to other good blogs written by educators about educating students and ourselves. I even stumbled on one I think math teachers would like to know about, as it lets anyone in a basic math, pre-algebra, algebra, trig, pre-calculus or calculus class put in a problem and the program solves the problem for them. It's called Mathway.  I've looked at Google as well for blogs, but I like the Technorati site better. Maybe it's the directory I get right at the beginning of the program. I like things laid out so I can use them right away as well as get an idea of how the authors have categorized their sites. It must be the librarian in me.
