Internet for Educators has developed an interest in me for
blogs, not just writing my own, but reading those of others. One of the most
informational edubloggers that I have been following is Learning Online Info written by Jorge Goncalves. His blog is full of amazing information about using
online technology. Although much of the information on his blog is geared
towards university students, it can all be adapted and applied to any level of
learning.
There are
so many aspects of this blog that I enjoy and appreciate. The ease of use of
this blog so great! I like that there is not a lot of “extra” stuff on the
blog. It is easy to find the current and past topics and choose exactly what I
want to read. I also like that he has categories down the side of the blog so
if I am looking for something specific it is easy to find the information that
Jorge has previously posted on the topic. The links that Jorge includes to
other edublogger sites and resources is also great!
There are a
lot of excellent resources listed for teachers on this blog. Some of Jorge’s
posts are geared towards students, while others are towards educators. However,
I think that even though some posts are focused on students, those posts are
also beneficial for me as an educator. I like how he explains how to infuse
different aspects of technology into the classroom and gives useful tips and
hints on how to be successful. The posts on this blog often start with the very
basics which I really appreciate. If I don’t understand what something is at
all, there are often initial posts on the topic that describe the concept from the
basics and then go into more detail and explanation on how to integrate the
concept. For me, this is really important as a lot of the technology I have
vaguely heard of, but don’t really understand what it is or how to use it.
I highly recommend checking out this blog! http://learningonlineinfo.org
