Websites Galore!
Posted by tekkieteacher on April 16, 2008
I love my PLN (Personal Learning Network). During the last few months, I’ve set up networks in Twitter, Diigo, Delicious, and Classroom 2.0 and I’m learning so much! Last night I needed to find another way to convert a .wav file to a .mp3 file because my converter wasn’t working. I posted a question to Twitter and had my answer within minutes!
This week’s featured websites are ones suggested by my “friends” in my PLN.
The first came from Jim Gates’ Tipline and is called Gadgets, Games, and Gizmos for Learning. The name pretty much says it all!
The second came from one of my Diigo contacts and is called 4Teachers. The primary objective for this site is to provide teachers with nice resources they can use to integrate technology with instruction.
The third one comes from Greg Smith at Tech Ed Know-How and is called Real World Math. This one looks really neat! It provides lessons where you use tools like Google Earth to teach math.

Thanks! I’ve found the blog a great way to communicate with my teachers.

These are great ideas! I’m going to have to go and check them out. How do you like Twitter? I’ve heard so much about it, but honestly, I’m a little nervous to try it. How easy is it and how much time to you need to be a part of it? Between my blog and Google Reader and Grad School, I’m not sure how much time is left. For example, I’ve signed onto Classroom 2.0, but I don’t use it much due to that lack of time problem. Thanks for the great ideas!
