Subscriptions

Subscribing to Newsgroups gives you information from and access to experts in all areas. It will also allow to ask questions and even answer some yourself. My rule: subscribe to everything. Yes, it does mean lots of e-mail comes in. But I have learned about some amazing events, applications, and people through these subscriptions. Here are some I subscribe to:

[|Tech Crunch] - "TechCrunch is a weblog dedicated to obsessively profiling and reviewing new Internet products and companies." I subscribe through e-mail.

[|SMARTTech EDCompass Newsletter] - SMARTTech's newsletter offers great ideas. Just be prepared to skim through the ads.

[|Discovery Educator Network] - This is a great site to keep abreast of. Subscribe to feed updates to find out what's happening in the Discovery Educator World.

[|Kathy Schrock's SOS] - This weekly website update sends great sites your way with brief descriptions and a link.

[|WWWEDU] - "Welcome to the home of WWWEDU (pronounced 'we do'), the Internet's largest and longest-running forum on the use of the World Wide Web in education. Founded and moderated by Andy Carvin of the EDC Center for Media & Community." This is one of my yahoo groups. I subscribe to receive daily compilation e-mails.

[|Education Week] - This site provides articles on education and technology. It has a weekly update.
