I've spent the last two days looking at apps and sites that I learned about during NETA.  There's a wealth of information and activities available.  Thanks to Tammy Worcester (tammyworcester.com), one of our presenters at NETA here are some of my favorite sites to use with an IWB -

Welcome to our blog!  I was inspired to try this by attending the NETA (Nebraska Educational Technology Association) conference in Omaha this Thursday and Friday, April 26 & 27, 2012.  I have done a little posting previously.  Since I'm a Teacher Librarian I teach technology skills in an elementary school, and I've had kids post to a blog in the past - but it always seems to fall by the wayside.  Also, I've authored a family website using iWeb - but one of the presenters at NETA mentioned that MobileMe is going away this summer.  I decided that now was a good time to shift over to another format and share some news this way.  We're glad you're here!
