I really like technorati. It makes searching for blogs pretty easy. I especially like that you can choose the “authority” of the post. So for this week’s outside educational technology posting I found one on internet safety.
Thanks to Adam Thierer of The Technology Liberation Front, I learned that the Senate recently passed a resolution naming June National Internet Safety Month. You can check out the resolution here (http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=110_cong_bills&docid=f:sr205ats.txt.pdf). Although it is a nice idea it doesn’t really do much other than say they (the Senate) support the importance of internet safety for children. Thierer lists in his blog (http://www.techliberation.com/archives/042421.php) several helpful sites in learning/teaching internet safety in relation to children and teens.
technorati is a nice site for blog searching. and the topic you found is one we’ll cover next week, so perhaps you can share the blog entry you found with everyone next week.
