Blog Posting #4

This journals websites was full of articles and archives with inforamation that pertained to education.  It was orgasnized into two types of articles: research articles and professional development articles.  All of the professional articles were technology based and connected with education in some way.  The monthly research article posted was specifically about financing and funding for education technology.  This article was very serious and not too inviting.  The reason I chose to review this article is because it sounded like my name!!

Blog Posting #3

The website I chose to review this week was salt.org.  The only reason I chose to review this website was because the name caught my attention.  I wondered why a website would be called SALT and it actually stands for Society for Apllied Learning Technology.  This organiztion enables one to achieve knowledge for work in the field of applied learning technology by association with other professionals in conferences sponsored by the Society.  it's website provides members with the opportunity to post any comments, questions, news, conferences etc.  There is an annual membership fee to be part of this organization and many opportunities to go to conferences and publications.  After reviewing this website I found alot going on with this organiztion and it was very interesting to see the postings and agendas for this organization. 

Second Blog Posting

The website I chose to review this time was pbs.org.  I chose this website because it was full of so much useful and interesting information.  I was surprised to see and read all the inforamtion they had over what congressional leaders have in the topic over education and our children.  Many of the sitiuations going on in our nation today greatly affect the educational system and the future of our children.  This website not only provided topics over education, but topics over the environment, politics, science and even entertainment!  It was filled of lots of information and actually think I will keep it as one of my homepages!

Online Resources

The section that I chose to vist was an online journal.  The name if this journal was the journal.com. The reason this online journal caught my atttention was because of the headline news it annnounced as soon as the web page opened.  It read "$6 Mill to support STEM".  This article pointed out that two major companies were uniting to launch a school competiton to promote science, technology, engineering and math.  I feel this is very important to how these type of pragrams are encouraging and putting together ideasd and plans to further children's knoweldge and intrest in these subjects that for the most part are aometimes diificult to understand.From this website I learned there is many types of programs out there that can definitely help in providing children and educators and parents to help a child further knowledge, skills and resources!
