The blog that I subscribe to is the Educational Technology Blog located at : http://www.educationtechnologyblog.com/
I subscribe to this blog because it helps me to stay abreast of all the most recent web 2.0 tools and how to use them in education. I find that this blog helps me in my discipline, education, specifically online education. It also helps to nurture my creating mind by giving me advice from experts and modeling ways in which these tools are used by others. I like the informal atmosphere of the blog and I like being able to comment and share my experiences by leaving comments without fear of reproach.. Not all of the information presented in the blog is for online educators, in fact most of it is for classroom teachers. However, I am able to synthesize the various skills and resources and adapt and modify them so that I can use them for online teaching and to present them to my faculty. The best part of this blog is not the original postings but the comments that come in from educators around the globe. Through these comments I am able to gain new and different perspectives on how other educators are using these same resources in their traditional and virtual classrooms, and I am able to share my perspectives with them.
