Project 4 C4T

Julie Greller's blog A Media Specialist's Guide to the Internet is a resource for beginner and expert bloggers in the field of education. Her blog was full of tools to help teachers and librarians in the school. She had on of the most detailed blogs I have ever seen, so clearly she has been doing this for a while. She terms herself a "cybrarian". Check out her blog here :

My first comment on Mrs. Greller's blog was on her post from Monday, February 2nd titled "Kids Love Scavenger Hunts! Here are 57 Sites to Get You Started". In this post, Mrs. Greller tells us how to create a scavenger hunt from the traditional outdoor activity to something we can do on the internet. She says that, "Today, there are internet scavenger hunts..." which will allow for kids to do the same activity at the convenience of themselves and the teacher in a classroom setting. I commented on how detailed she made her post and appreciated the shear amount of information she included within it. She had scavenger hunts for all ages K-12 and she also covered every subject.

My second comment was on a post of hers from February 7th titled "Free Online PD Infographic". In this post Mrs. Greller provided a tool for up and coming "teacher-librarians". It has a list of resources that connect people to specialist who can help them resolve problems they may be experiencing with certain technological advancemts in the classroom. Some of these examples are as follows, edcamp, edweb, Follett, and SLJ Webcasts. In my comment I applauded the fact that she had provided such a huge resource for teachers and librarians alike. Not to mention that she had made this available to everyone for free!

  1. Jordan,

    great post! I also spoke about the project based learning on my blog. I think it is a wonderful way for students to interact and get their work done. I would love to use it in my classroom one day. iCurio was also new to me. I think it is awesome to have a filtered search engine for kids. That is one less thing you have to worry about as a teacher.
