Keeping up--Some vacation reading
I've added what's called a blogroll on the right. Right now, it lists blogs associated with educational or instructional technology. If you're interested in keeping up with trends in teaching with technology, this list is a good place to start. Through these blogs, I find out about events, software, research, and case studies related to instructional technology.
In addition, I've updated the Academic blogs that I track here. I know none of you really need more to read, but consider it vacation reading.
If you're looking for an interesting place to start, you might start with this article in T.H.E. that discusses 20 technology skills educators should know. Do you know all of these things? How much should you know? It's something David Penrose is discussing on his Educause blog and that I think is worth considering. Both the T.H.E. article and David's blog point to tutorials so that you can learn more about each skill. It's something to think about, too, when it comes to local workshops you might be interested in. Don't know how to manage images? Ask for a workshop about it.
