I subscribed to this site because seeing that I am a Social Studies teacher living in Orlando, I like to provide the latest information to my students. I do not always have the time to sit and watch a newscast or read a newspaper, so this is the most convenient way to stay connected to my community.
Free Technology for Teachers
I like this blog as it infuses teaching with the latest technology. One of the latest blogs on the site deals with alternatives to YouTube. I believe YouTube is a useful technology tool but is blocked in many school districts, including mine. As a teacher, I believe it is important to find engaging, meaningful activities for our students, and I think that this site provides information that will prepare myself for such activities.
iLearn Technology
This is another site that encourages technology integration in the classroom. I chose this one because, again, I want to find as much information as possible on the topic. The site gives you ideas on building lessons with your students the old way, such as word sorts, and integrating technology tools with it, such as pictures and links to related sites. This site will be especially helpful to myself because I can use my old paper and pencil lessons, and implement similar technology-based lessons.

The Modern Historian
This site will help further my knowledge of history and have talking points with my students. Each day the site provides a snippet of what happened that day in history. My students and myself can discover these nuggets daily in out reader without hesitation.
This site is similar to the Modern Historian site, but also provides lesson plans and Twitter updates on history. I subscribed to the site not just because of these ideas, but for the categories the site provides on the left navigation panel. It is quick and easy to use in this manner, and makes impromptu discussions with students easy to have. I have subscribed to this site due to its content in History.
