Excellent technology resources on the web

If you attended one of my Speed Learning Sessions today, thank you for your interest and support! I thought it would be easier if I added the resource links here rather than emailing them out to everyone. If you are interested in an excellent 3 minute video explaining the use of Blogs check out Blogs in Plain English. If you are feeling confident go to Blogger to set up your first blog in 3 easy steps.

Are you ready to try a Wiki??? Before you start I highly recommend you watch this quick video that really hits the mark...Wikis in Plain English. When you are ready to set-up your first wiki, go to PBWiki for a simple start. They will walk you through the process!

I mentioned that I had a few favorite TeacherTube videos, but for some reason the website is not working tonight....sorry about that! I'll let you know when the site is functional again. One of the things that really surprised me as I learned about technology is that YouTube has some excellent technology training videos (it has lots of junk too, but we can overlook that for now). If you are an educator and haven't seen Shift Happens it is well worth the 8 minutes of your time.

Get started and let me know how you are using these technologies in your programs!
