Technology in the Education Arena

I will be holding a Blogging Workshop at my school next week.  During this workshop, we will discuss safety with blogs, look at educational blogs, learn how to comment on blogs, set up our own blog at www.edublogs.org, log into our blog, edit our blog, select our presentation style, create links, create categories, and create our first posting. 

 We will also be going over RSS and creating an account on Bloglines along with learning how to add an RSS feed to Bloglines.

While putting this workshop together, I found so many great sites with handouts, tutorials, and videos for working with your blog on Edublogs.  Thank you to the authors.  Here is a list of the sites:
