Assignment

Okay loyal fans, the following is not an update on our family (although I promise to sit down and write one tomorrow). The following is an assignment for a class I am taking for my master's degree I am working on.


I recently visited www.itse.org. It is a website for the organization called "The International Society for Technology in Education." The website is full of useful links, helpful information, and invaluable resources for educators. I was particularly drawn to the "Educator Resources" link. It has quite a few VERY useful links with helpful project ideas, online seminars, training classes, and other tools that could prove to be invaluable to an educator in today's technology savvy classroom.

The website seems very easy to navigate and search, and honestly, I can't find too many negatives about the site. This is going on my bookmark list, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new site with fresh ideas for incorporating technology into their classroom.

A few things that really intrigue me about the site are the fact that you can access it and all of the resources with or without membership in their society. I feel that this will allow a broader range of educators to actually use the site. I also appreciate the fact that you can make suggestions on the site and feel like they may actually be heard and help others. The career section seems like a great idea in today's economy as well.

All in all, I am thoroughly impress with this site and plan to visit it quite regularly. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!
