Back in the Classroom

After working for five years as a district-level technology facilitator, I am now returning to the classroom. It's my goal to make my 5th grade class a model for how technology can be powerfully integrated into instruction and learning. Join my students and me on the journey! It's sure to be bumpy, but exciting...

Digg for Finding Blogs

I've been listening to an interesting podcast on TalkCrunch about a popular Web 2.0 site called Digg.

"Digg is all about user powered content. Every article on digg is submitted and voted on by the digg community. Share, discover, bookmark, and promote the news that's important to you!"

If you're getting interested in blogging, but having a hard time find quality blogs that are interesting to you, this might be a place to start. Digg users submit articles they like, then other Digg users vote on the article. As more and more people find the content to be good, the article is dug from the bottom of the pile and rises to the top. There are some fascinating articles on top in technology, and science (my favorites). You can also look at world/business, sports, videos, entertainment and gaming. The number of users of Digg is doubling every two months!
