Five Found From my Feedly

Another week has gone by and it is time for another dose of posts that I read from my Feed.ly Reader.  It is starting to grow on me after being used to Google Reader for so long.  There are several features that I am still getting adjusted too, but so far Feed.ly is working out just fine as a replacement.

1.) So....You Wanna Use Blogs in the Classroom is a great introduction post to learning about blogging in the classroom.  More and more students and teachers are turning to blogs as a way for students to write and then publish their writing.  From the Blogging About the Web 2.0 Connected Classroom.

2.) 12 Ways to Integrate (Not Just Use) Technology in Education from Edudemic provides a chart showcasing the differences between Using Technology and Integrating Technology.

3.) What is the Role of the Librarian is a great post for helping all of us Educators remember the importance of the Library in the school system.  Google has definitely changed how research is done, but utilizing the library and the librarian is still very important.  From Educational Origami.

4.) 17 Awesome Google Chrome Extensions interested me as I have finally made the switch over to Google Chrome for my everyday browsing.  There are several extensions that could be very important for educators inside and outside the classroom.  From A Media Specialist's Guide to the Internet.

5.) StudyBlue Announces Annual Teacher Appreciation Program "Thank a Teacher a Latte" is a post from Educational Technology Guy that helps to explain the program and how students, parents, and other stakeholders can get involved in thanking a teacher our our ever important job.
