Attention - See These Posts

Rhonda Harrison has found and included in her post a link to an article in the St. Petersburg Times about a class in St. Petersburg that uses blogs. I urge you to read Rhonda's post and the article.

Elizabeth Wheeler also has an excellent link to a lengthy article about how blogs are being used with younger students and to teach writing. Take a look at her post.

Kenneth Chasteen located web site that has some information about the "Lunchbox computer" that was discussed Tuesday night. You will have to scroll down until you see information about "The $100 Computer." Read this section of the web page and follow the links on that web page. You will be taken to MIT's web site that discusses this project. Very interesting!

Cherylon has found a web site for the major professional association dealing with the use of technology in schools. You might want to review her post and check out the web site.

From time to time I will call attention to some noteworthy posts and links. Visit them and the links.
