So, I spent quite a bit of time pointing and clicking into blogs- some were very useful, some not so. It is so easy to be pulled off in so many directions, and to lose site of where/why you started! I suppose the best thing to do is to add links of the best educational sites to my favorites, and check them now and again. The most useful thing I think I pulled from Thing 3 is a list of 30 ideas of how to use blogs in the classroom. I am definitely going to use this. I have already seen first-hand how useful blogs are in AP government, as an example.
I got a chuckle when I read the blog from ISTE on critical thinking in web 2.0- one presenter called critical thinking "crap detection"!!!
The biggest obstacle here? TIME to keep up! Maybe RSS will help.....onto Thing 4....
