As I continue with developing my plans for continuous learning, another aspect I will consider is what and how I would like to study and continue learning about.
Resources
Although probably not financially feasible for schools to use, I will want to learn about using iPads in the classroom. I feel like a small item that students could carry around with them wherever they go would be an amazing tool both in the classroom and for homework or distance learning. The website http://www.apple.com/education/why-apple/ even gives ideas of how to use apple products in the classroom.
An online journal I will be checking in on is the Journal, found at http://thejournal.com/home.aspx. This online journal has news specific to the use of technology in K-12 schools and how technology is being used around the country. Another online journal, though not as current online as it is if you subscribe, but the Journal of Technology Education has online links to its articles at http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/ejournals/JTE/.
There are a few blogs I have found that I am now subscribing to. The first is found at http://www.whiteboardblog.co.uk/ because it is a clean blog and very easy to read - not to mention the information is good. The second is http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/. I like that she doesn't just believe in technology, but that she loves the actual career of teaching. There may be other blogs that had even better information, but I cannot stand blogs that have too much text on them, especially when a lot of that text is advertising. If it bothers me when I first look at it, I just close the page and do not even read the information. Another blog is found at http://tilttv.blogspot.com/.
A couple of blogs that are not necessarily personal, but more professionally run are iLearnTechnology found at http://ilearntechnology.com/ and Teacher Tech Blog found at http://teachertechblog.com/.
