Blogs for Beginners

Hi, hope everyone is having a good week :) 
This week I looked into a few different “technology in education” blogs, and these were the three that I have decided to follow. 

One blog I looked at was iintegratetechnology
This blog is written by a second grade teacher who shares useful websites and apps to use in the classroom. One of the posts that I read was about a website called ClassDojo Toolkit. Which is super cool because it has all sorts of tools that teachers use every day. For example, “Group Maker” which is exactly what it sounds like. It helps you randomly arrange students into pairs, threes, fours, or more.

Another blog I looked into was Technology Tailgate.
This blog is a network of technology blogs, that is dedicated to showcasing technology in the classroom. It is a collaboration of teachers that share ideas and demonstrate real ways technology is being used in classrooms. One really cool post that I found was About Eureka Math, which is about a math website that has all sorts of interesting and useful materials for teaching math.

A third blog that I looked at was Digitally Yours....
This blog is about various google tools/ tricks. For someone like me who is occasionally technologically challenged this is a super useful site! One of the posts I read was about how to use google documents with students. It explains how to make copies of “master” documents in an easy and understandable way, with step by step instructions.


I really enjoyed looking at all sorts of different blogs and finding  new and creative uses for technology in the classroom :D

Hello

Hi my name is Leila and I am an assistant teacher in Israel for  the 4th through 6th grade English class. I am on the Masa Israel Teaching Fellows program and am currently taking classes to get my Teaching Certification :)
This blog is for my Language Skills through ICT class! I am very excited about this class because so much of teaching revolves around technology whether it's the teachers using the computer in class or the kids being on their phones 24/7 :D
I have never had a blog before so please bare with me as I embark on this kind of scary but also very amazing adventure!
