#7 (WEEK 3) Create a blog post about anything technology-related that interests you this week

Simply blog about anything technology related. Yes, it can be anything that relates to technology! You just need to share a few thoughts. For example:

"I like digital cameras because it's much easier to share photos with family and friends now that I have a Flickr account. Skype lets me talk with friends through computers. Technology advancements for music and medical equipment are amazing! Video Games, iTunes, iPods, Flatscreen televisions, etc. "

Some good spots I use for reading about technology in general and/or ed-tech in particular are:

• readwriteweb
• flosse posse
• cogdogblog
  

Discovery Exercise:

• Add at least one comment to another participant's blog.

That's what online communities are all about - connecting and communication. CHEER and otherwise encourage your elm2008 colleagues :)

Curriculum Connections:

1. Idea #1: Never miss an opportunity to share and discuss issues related to technology such as Internet safety & ethics, censorship, plagiarism, copyright, online learning, or library collection development.
2. Idea #2: Post a web 2.0 curriculum-connection-of-the-week on your classroom blog or assign students to each take a week for their idea.
