My First Blog Post!

I have not done this whole blogging thing for a very long time. The last time I did it was for a two week trip I had in London. I knew that I would never remember all the little details from the trip and my family wanted daily e-mail updates with pictures of what we were doing. Blogging seemed like a perfect solution. To be honest, I had totally forgot about that blog until this idea for this blog came along. I went back to my old website and checked everything out, I cannot explain how happy I am that I made that choice. There were so many things I had forgotten. So, as my first post for this blog, I am very excited to start this process again!

For my first post on technology in education I wanted to share a few things I have found over the past week. Here is a link to a HUGE list of other blogs that are education related. As I started looking at a bunch of other blogs I realized so many ways that technology can be used in our classrooms.

One thing that was very intriguing to me was this video on You Tube that was featured in Betty-Online - Time Out's Blog (you can see her blog *here*) from August 2010:

In this video she talks about having student's use their POD (Personally Owned Devices) as a tool in the classroom. After watching her video, what are your thoughts? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using POD's in a classroom?
