Chapter 8

Chapter 8 deals with using online resources in teaching. It talks about things like blogs, government sites, and other online applications. It also gets into the topic of class websites and the web authoring tools that can be used to make them.

The activity involved rating The Educator’s Reference Desk and the website for the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education. I had use Educator’s Reference Desk before, so there were no surprises there. However, the other website looked promising for the development of professional contacts and conventions about technology in the classroom that it had links for. The Association webpage also had articles of past articles and journals on the topic of school technology, which could provide some ideas and insights for future classroom implementation.
