I recently discovered Cooperative Catalyst. I also regularly read subsets on topics of interest on the websites of Edutopia and Education Week. Also, I check regularly on the business and education websites of Harvard – often get transferrable information from the business sites. Finally, there is Seth Godin’s blog – really important regularly for individuals and fr educators when ou really understand what’s being witten.

IMPORTANT SUGGESTION: Assuming you are on Twitter (if not, why not??? Lots of great Learning Development or PD via the hash tags), most loggers make their newest blog a link in a tweet and you can follow them w/o going to website unless want more info.

I’d like to see more places to go where new technologies are actually evaluated. No one has the time to jump on the bandwagon of every new technology or product. I’d also like to see more on how parents can overcome new problems that technology creates for kids. And I’d like to see more on opportunity costs — in other words, when kids spend time on the computer it means they spend less time on other things that may be more important. I’m seeing a lot of selling, but little critical review. One of my daughters is very good with social media, but not very good in math for example. I have to pry her away from Facebook. I do not allow my girls to have cell phones, can’t afford them, yet the school consistently sets practices with open end times because they just assume every kid has one and can phone home for a ride. The teachers don’t feel like they have to schedule anything other than start times any more. The school uses a band practice online tool that records kids practicing and grades them, but it is technically a poor product. Let’s get real folks. Why adopt things that don’t work just to be modern. http://www.sportingchancepress.com
