So as part of an assignment we had to look at an edublog [Blog about education]. I chose Edudemic. The only thing I can say is MIND BLOWN! This blog has everything a teacher could possibly need for their classroom. There are blogs that are reviews of the best laptops for teachers, tablets for students, etc. In addition to tips and posts about using technology for the sake of learning and not just games in the classroom. This blog is made of posts by several different people- so its not the blog of one single educator. This factor, I think, is important because I think it means that you're getting quality information that more than one person thought was relavent to the field of education technology, you can actually submit a blog and have it reviewed and perhaps posted. This blog mainly focuses on the connection of education and technology so I think I'll be bookmarking this blog for later use for sure.

Some of the really interesting articles that I have read on the page so far:

A kindergarten teacher in China used an immersion iPad project with her students so they could draw themselves as superheros in this blog titled "Incredibly Immersive iPad Project Makes Students Into Superheroes."

This blog titled How To Use Scaffolding For Deeper Understanding is quite interesting as well considered the stuff we've discussed in our program thus far.

One thing I also liked about this blog is that there are tabs for students and teachers. A little something for everyone! Which is why I couldn't pick one blog post to talk about because they're all so awesome. I hope you all check the site out-its quite fabulous.
