IDT 516 @ WIU

This blog has been specially created for a course I'm taking this summer at Western Illinois U. I hate the idea of throwing something out here on the web just to meet a requirement, so it took some thinking for me to determine what the purpose of this blog would be. If I'm going to take up cyberspace, I might as well be constructive about it!

The pupose of this blog will be to give me a place to post new things I learn about instructional technology, tools, and how they can be incorporated into teaching. I'm sure there are already a number of identical blogs out there, but if nothing else, I can share this with other teachers I know and work with, and maybe they can use the things I find and help me gain a better understanding of instructional technology.

One thing I've already come across while developing this blog as well as my other blog - wouldn't it be helpful to be able to search blogspot for blogs by a topic or keyword? Maybe that's already possible and I just haven't figured out how to do it yet. If anyone can help me out in this endeavor it would be greatly appreciated!
