More Blogception...

Another metablog...

As a continuation of sorts from my last post, I would like to share a fellow blogger (one of much higher blogging caliber than I could ever aspire) and his method of using a blog as an educational resource.

Richard Byrne's blog, "Free Technology for Teachers", wins over educators the moment they read his title. If the concept doesn't convince you, then the blog's accolades should. This is just a snippet from the "About the Author" page:

About the blog:
The purpose of this site is to share information about free resources that teachers can use in their classrooms.
In 2008 Free Technology for Teachers was awarded the Edublogs Award for "Best Resource Sharing Blog."
In 2009 Free Technology for Teachers was again awarded the Edublogs Award for "Best Resource Sharing Blog" and was awarded the Edublogs Award for "Best Individual Blog."
In 2010 Free Technology for Teachers was awarded the Edublogs Awards for "Best Resource Sharing Blog," "Best Ed Tech Support," and "Best Individual Blog."
In 2011 Free Technology for Teachers received the Edublogs Award for Best Ed Tech Blog.
Free Technology for Teachers is read by an audience of more than 45,000 daily subscribers (current as of April 1, 2012).

As a future teacher, I think I speak for teachers worldwide when I say that there are never enough free (and reliable) resources out there. Hey, sharing is caring, especially in the field of teaching. 

After just perusing Bryne's most recent posts and site map, I can tell you, this one's a keeper. Byrne has links to tons of apps for Apple and Android technology, Web 2.0 assistance, and other guides and resources that he has found valuable. Talk about one-stop shopping! 

Here is the link to this fabulous resource:
