[Technology 828] Re: Suggestions for good blogsCindy J Holden gradplan1 at gmail.comFri Feb 2 17:46:04 EST 2007
Thank you, Alan G, for sending links to your blog. It looks interesting, and I plan to read through later this evening. I also hit the send button prematurely - forgetting to identify myself yesterday in a post to this listserve. Here is try number 2 (oh the humanity) I have reactivated a blog that I started as a grad school assignment (Marlboro College - Masters in Teaching with Technology). The conversation currently is around educational leapfrogging in Vermont and the ways technology makes that possible (or not). I would love to have guest blog entries from people with fresh ideas for drop out recovery programs especially - but all ideas related to teaching and technology can be entertained. The social networking that is so important to success for youth is also important for me - but I find I have to push myself to get started. I do not fit the blogger stereotype you so aptly describe - I am a single working mother from a hill tribe village and the only member of my family to attend college (so far).
