I should really title this Teaching Carnival since that's where I found Academhack in the first place, but I've spent quite a bit of time on this blog, exploring and reading about ways of using technology in the classroom. His posts are thoughtful and explain not only how to do something, but why. I think that's key and I think that's something that people miss sometimes, thinking about why you want to use a particular technology. Many of his recent posts are centered around his helping a colleague set up a writing class that will be using blogs extensively. I've been interested in seeing all the different tools he's suggested for that. Since I'll be using blogs for the second time, I'm keenly interested in how this project of his goes.

Even if you're not interested in blogging, Dave has lots of other helpful tips from managing email to using wikis. It's well worth a read and a blog I'll be adding to my blogroll for sure.
