The assignment to search for blogs was not easy to complete. I finally had to review Jen's hints on how locate educational blogs (they are incredibly well hidden in a general Google search!). Then I was able to understand and begin to complete the assignment.
I reviewed two blogs. The first concerned a school in the South Bronx and its decision to institute learning stations so that each child could choose learning that addressed his or her best modality. This school had seen a 28% increase in test scores in one year.
The second blog addressed how the iPad impact education. My comments compared the conversation I'd had with my vice principal concerning the Kindle, the Nook and the iPad The. We are both eager to see how students respond to the dropping prices of the first two and the availability of the third: the newest, hottest item to hit the market this past year.
The blogs reviewed or at the following addresses:
