As usual, my last blog led to a person mental rant and encouraged me to find some more resources. I was thinking about how we don't always use technology properly or effectively in the classroom, and figured we might all like some suggestions. So, I Googled it. Shocking. Anyways, I found this blog http://www.freetech4teachers.com/ . It is written by Richard Byrne and filled with videos, lessons, and even "How To" explanations. I think using this type of resource is important for us to take advantage of. There is so much out there to guide and help us through teaching; we just need to actually use those resources.
Something like Byrne's blog could be of great use in future classrooms. He even has tips on how to "clean up" a YouTube search. That is huge! Even in our class last week we were slightly taken aback by some images that happen to show up on Pinterest. It does not always matter what you search or click, things pop up and they are not always appropriate for a school setting. Looking to other educators for help could change how you use technology and the internet, and even help to make it less stressful of an experience. I know it is not much, but I thought this website might be of interest to some in case you are ever in need. Enjoy!
