Educational Blog

The blog I chose was “FreeTechnology for Educators.” The reason I chose this blog was because I felt it was immensely applicable in this day and age no matter what grade range I choose to teach. There were several aspects of this blog that I really liked. For example, there is a whole section on iPad apps for educators. This was interesting to me because iPads are a very convenient form of technology that can be used in the classroom. They are mobile and not as costly as an entire laptop. This specific section of this blog would help me customize the iPads to fit the needs of my students.

In addition there were several resources for Google and Android users, which would be helpful no matter which platform I decided to go with. Moreover, there are specific blog posts for prominent events such as “Top 5 Resources for Poetry Month” and so forth. This would provide me with ample ideas for a vast range of different educational events. The other option I liked in this blog was that it provided alternatives. For example, one of the tabs includes alternatives to YouTube. I believe this is important because it is necessary to have a set of options to be able to pick and choose from. In addition, it may not always be a possibility to use YouTube and therefore have alternatives would be essential.


Overall this site provided great resources for educators no matter what grade levels they plan on teaching. I believe this will definitely be one I bookmark to use for future purposes.
