[|Educational Technology in the classroom (k12)] This is an good site for teachers who are learning how to integrate technology in the classroom. They show ways to do this, allow teachers to netwok together through blogging, model to students writing and the process beyond the classroom, and finally showcase their work. They show you how to set up a classroom blog/website. Lots of good information, however, to much promotions/advertisements. Not uniformed in it's appearance which makes it difficult to follow.
