Currituck County Schools Media and Tech

Some of you are blogging masters and some are new to this form of communication.  I want to take a couple of lines here to give you a quick tour of the blog. 

The main part of the page shows the blog entries I’ve been making.  My main goal is to highlight the many good things that are taking place in the media and technology areas.   A secondary goal is to point you to interesting activities and writings from outside the district that will help us expand our ideas of what is possible in the classroom.  

Starting at the top on the right hand side you see comments.  Anyone can comment on any of the blog entries.  The latest comments are listed here.

Next is a listing of recent posts.  These are hotlinks to save you scrolling down to look for the entry you are interested in.

Next is a “blogroll”.  This is a list of links that I think are helpful.  I’ll be adding links to some of the educational technology blogs that I read regularly.  There is a lot of good info out there. 

Next are Tech Links.  This part of the page is integrated with my del.icio.us account.  del.icio.us is a social bookmarking site.  You can save your bookmarks to del.icio.us and then your are able to access them from anywhere.  You can also “tag” your bookmarks to help you sort them out.  Any of the sites I bookmark and tag as “edtech” will appear on this list.  Maybe you’ll find some of them helpful.

Finally, there are flickr photos.  Flickr.com is a site that lets you upload photos and tag them similarly to flickr.  When I take media and technology pictures I upload them to flickr and they also appear on this page.
