About this Blog
As a Technology Staff Development Specialist, I spend quite a bit of time finding the best resources for the teachers in my district to use as they are starting to effectively integrate technology in education. This blog serves as a place for me to share these resources and every once and awhile my insights into technology in education.
Please let me know if you have any sites you would like me to highlight.
Enjoy!

Medievia! That brings me way back… I had a cleric I loved to play… Maybe I’ll peek inside the game this weekend
.
Speaking of games, I was visiting initially to let you know of the virtual world my company works on : GAME FOR SCIENCE (http://www.gameforscience.ca). It’s a MMO game in which players 8-16 can learn about science, do virtual experiments and battle each other in knowledge duels, amongst other things. It’s entirely free, too.
We built teacher guides to accompany the game so that it would be used in classrooms around the world. I invite you to take a stroll in the virtual world and would appreciate any feedback you may have!
Dianne,
I am a student at the University of South Alabama. I have read some of your blog posts and I really appreciate what you are doing here. You have found some great web-sites that can help and motivate teachers to become more technologically literate. There are a lot of teachers that are scared to use technology, but if they had more people like you trying to guide them, they might not be so scared. My major is Health Education and I want to teach at the high school level. I will definitely be following your posts to get some great ideas for incorporating technology into my classroom.
Thank you,
Caileigh McCulloch
