This is a website by Richard Byrne titled "Free Technology for Teachers". This is a great blog where Richard posts many different and interesting websites and tools that teachers can use through the use of technology. After spending some time exploring this great blog, I found some very interesting tools that I would be able to use in my classroom. One post that I found useful was on the websiste "Explaina". This is a video sharing site where people can post information on explaining something. I watched a couple of the videos and they were very informative. I could see myself using this in the classroom when trying to explain something to the more visual learners.
I feel that the best thing about this blog is that is directed for educators and is very user friendly. The links all work correctly and it is very easy to navigate this blog. He has many useful tabs at the top of the blog, such as: free downloads, favorite resources, creating blogs and websites, and many more. I believe that when a blog is as well put together as this, it can be a great classroom tool. I want to be able to make my blog more appealing to both other educators and my students.
Enjoyed your post. I agree with your comment, "I feel that the best thing about this blog is that is directed for educators and is very user friendly.
