So I'm reading blogs about integrating technology into the classroom and I'm learning stuff already. I enjoyed this post about using Google Earth to bring lessons closer to home:

I actually experimented with the how-to by Google Earthing my parents' retirement village, in all its riveting glory and excitement. Look at that! Google Earth can put you where your heart is.

Next I read this post:

about Israeli kids participating in a Google contest to improve Google Translate. THANK G-D.....
although some of my best blogging material has been samples of hilariously translated school emails via Google Translate. Alas, I'll have to look elsewhere for an easy laugh.

Finally, I listened to this Southern Accented podcast cautiously encouraging tech-unsavvy teachers to first learn how to use Twitter and then, if ever, start using Twitter.

I have Twitter. Outside of war-time, I never use it. However, in the spirit of showing these podcasters I am one of the capable ones, I went ahead and started following @TEFL and @classroomblog. Just for fun.

(For anyone who is wondering, it's Saturday night here in Israel, though Blogger is using US time to indicate when my post went up).
