The content of site #2 is geared towards learning and educational technology in a classroom setting. The originator of this site is currently a K-12 technology integration specialist. Her intent is to support teachers as they integrate technology in their classrooms. This is one of the reasons I chose this site. In my current position, I primarily coach an intercollegiate athletic team. I am looking, in the very near future, to transition to the classroom setting (both traditional and online) and want to be as effective as possible, in both curriculum design and utilizing technology, for my future students.
The content of site #3 is geared specifically towards teaching and learning at the community college level. This site, for me, is an obvious choice. As I currently work, and anticipate continuing to work, at a community college, I thought this site would be very helpful towards being more effective with my anticipated future position, direction, and goals.
Finally, a primary consideration for selecting all three of these sites is that they appeared to be current in both the originator’s postings as well as others who contributed to the sites. Additionally, as they do appear to be active, I hope to continue frequenting these sites after this course and into the future, as both a reader/learner and a contributor. In particular, site #3, which most closely relates to my current and anticipated working environment, has been active for the past four years. I have the belief the site will be continuing!
As a side note, the link from this week’s article by Ferriter, "Learning with Blogs and Wikis", was very helpful in providing the following website: http://supportblogging.com/Links+to+School+Bloggers.
