Does anyone know of professional blogs in the field of Social Studies Middle School for teachers to read? I am also looking for Middle School Social Studies Student Blogs to show as examples. Thank you.
I just subscribed, Eric. I liked what I saw so far. I will look forward to future blogs. My blog has been used to update participants from my workshops that I do for teachers. It has many practical tips. If you'd like, take a look at…
Duck Diaries is one of my favorites http://duckdiaries.edublogs.org/
They followed it up with Trout Diaries

How did your workshop go on technology? I appologize for not getting back to you. I had computer issues for a couple of months and decided to upgrade. If you still need information, please let me know.
Judi, below I listed a video I just made you on JING and shared via screencast.com. It is from one of my previous wiki spaces I created for my English 12 Honors class 2 years ago. I can make more videos of my different wikis if you would like. Hope this helps!
Also, I added your blog to my blog roll. Very good stuff. I hope that you could share my blog as well; http://iteach20.blogspot.com/
With your work in Education Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.
