This is my blog for DED 318 an Educational technology class for Kansas State Universty. I am a new blogger and I am interested to see how well I do. This blog will discuss education issues, my reflections on these issues, and many other educational topics. I hope you enjoy it!

Classroom 2.0
Classroom 2.0
This site has so much to offer educators. While perusing through the website I found many different groups that would be very helpful to a new teacher. There is a professional development group, groups and posts about subject matter, and also many forums for different computers used in the classroom. All of these things make life a little easier for a beginning teacher. One thing I really like was the science area. One teacher posted about a game called Nano Legends where students learn about cells and the bodies reaction to foreign bodies. It allows students to learn about cells while having an interesting game to play. I also enjoy that there is a group for new comers into the Classroom 2.0 website. This site has many different helpful groups that can help take you step by step through technology processes. This is great because many teachers do not have the extra time to teach themselves how to learn a specific site. Besides these great groups Classroom 2.0 also has a wiki. It offers things such as free workshops, live conversations, and community resources. All of these can be utilized in a classroom and are very important to any teacher, not just beginning teachers. This site has much to offer and even after exploring the site for a long while there are still many more resources on the site that I did not get to visit. This depth of resources makes Classroom 2.0 a wonderful tool for any teacher.
