Let's share links to our blogs!
I recently came across a few long-standing blogs that never crossed my path during my Google searches, and I was thinking that a Classroom 2.0 discussion about blog-sharing might be helpful, since we are members of "the social network for educators using collaborative technologies".
If you have a blog you'd like to share, either your own, or one that you'd recommend, post a reply with a link to the blog, the author's name, the focus of the blog, and perhaps a few words about why you find it interesting or useful.

Here are my blogs:

Interactive Multimedia Technology
I have another blog that I use to post my reflections about what I'm learning in my mid-life journey as a computer/tech student:
The World Is My Interactive Interface

Update 6/15/10
It has been a very busy school year! The exciting news is that one of my schools has a multi-touch SMARTTable, and every classroom has an interactive whiteboard. The teachers worked very hard to ramp up their IWB skills and I'm amazed at how quickly this interactive technology was adopted. Of course, interactive applications and websites are pretty awesome on a huge screen or display! The best part is that this technology has opened up the minds of a good number of students with severe autism characteristics.
In April, I participated in a workshop at ACM's 2010 CHI conference. The topic of the workshop focused on the next generation of human-computer interaction and education.
I also joined the SparkOn group, "a social platform for people that are sparked (inspired) by creative and emergent technologies".

Josh,
You can sign up to have your blog listed in the International Edubloggers Directory. Patricia Donaghy, a member of Classroom 2.0, responded to this forum thread and was kind to set up the directory. It is a great resource, and it is growing!

My blog is ETS Reflecting Pool on blogspot. I basically use it as a journal of my thoughts and for experimenting on things like podcasting.

Harley,
I can see from your blog that we share similar interests. I'm taking a visualization class this semester, and I've taken a couple of game classes, too. I like your 2.0 approach.
There is a growing need for more interactive web-based content for all of the interactive whiteboards and touch-screen displays cropping up in schools- and in public spaces. Is your company involved in with this?

My company is currently in the formative stage. Phase I for worldlearningtree.com is to find the best educational games that are built on what I consider web 2.0 technology. Long term goal is to have on online web based educational only type of RPG. This game will take advantage of all the latest interface technologies like Wii controllers, maglev 3D mouse or anything that comes available. However, I just need to survive one and a half more semesters getting my MBA and Masters in Computer Science degrees while still working 20+ hours at a large company. Expect to see much more progress after I graduate in December.
I will look up and add your blogs to my google newsreader. You should do the same for mine as I will only post the most interesting items related to education and web 2.0 technology.
I plan to use the most powerful free tools available (or at least cheap enough for me to afford with my own funds) so that I can keep all of the content I provide free.
Keep in touch and keep up the great progress. I'll be watching your blogs.

Hi, I just started a blog related to technology integration in the classroom. I thought it would be a good forum to share ideas that you usually do not get to share while passing each other in the hallway. So far I have hit Moodle forums, Bloom's and kwout.com. Check it out.

My blog is "Thinking About Learning." I'm a technology integration specialist in a K-5 elementary school. I write about the things I'm learning about educational technology and about how I share what I learn with students and teachers at my school.

I am the computer teacher in a K-6 private school. I have a blog in Classroom 2.0 http://www.classroom20.com/profile/Raine22 where I write about things that I think might be interesting to other technology teachers. I follow our teacher at sea as he embarks on amazing voyages and connects with classrooms around the world. As he gears up for the Vendee Globe 'around the world alone.,' I am trying to encourage as many people around the world to follow his incredible free journey that demonstrates real world applications for geography, history, navigation, science, fitness, technology and more. http://www.sitesalive.com More news to come as it unfolds. I also talk about short activities that I do with kids that connect them with others in the global community--whether it's a web designer, a pianist, an author, an English teacher or a student. We are all embarking on this learning adventure together. I always feel like I am a novice in technology integration which motivates me to learn more and read all that teachers share in their own experiences.

Here's mine. I just started blogging with my first grade class. I would love to see other primary teachers blogs and have my class comment them and you do the same for us!
