Technology and Teaching, Together
This week’s featured website is Free Technology for Teachers, a blog is authored by Richard Byrne (twitter) who describes himself as a “teacher and web apps junky”.
Brace yourself. Once you get started on this site, hours will pass and you won’t even notice. He has researched countless techology resources, categorized them by subject, and provided specific examples of how they can be used in the classroom.
Late addition to this post: I realized that this site was blocked and asked to have the site unblocked. Our district, however, has decided to keep it blocked. The site is an aggregator and they feel that some of the links might not be appropriate for younger students. If you would like to access this site to learn about these tools, you will have to do it on your own time. The site, by the way, has been nominated as one of the top resource sharing blogs for 2008 (http://edublogawards.com/2008/).
Thank you for sharing my blog with your readers. I hope you and your readers find it useful.
