For this week we were assigned to check out Jose Picardo's blog titled Technology and Education Box of Tricks. The blog is set up differently than most of the blogs we have visited this semester. Most of the other blogs read like a scroll. You just scroll down and there is the archive of the blog. This one is set up much more like a website homepage prompting you to click into different articles. I think it's a nice change of pace. You can tell the writer of the blog is very technologically advances because the website is intricate.
One of the best features on this blog is the link he has provided for resources for teachers. When you go to this page it is an alphabetical list of exactly what it claims to be, educational resources. Its great all kinds of programs and websites for teachers to use. He also provides a brief description of what the resource is next to each entry.
He also has a great YouTube video called "Top ten tips for using technology in the Classroom." He offers a lot of good advice like using music, blogs, Skype, and YouTube. He says that it is very relatable to the students to use technology in the class room. We have used most of the mediums he suggests in the video in our EDM310 class. It's a good video and a great website. I am definitely adding it to my PLN.
