Where Tech meets Text

The blog that I chose to follow and recommend to others is Huff English, a site Dana Huff who is not only a secondary English teacher, but also a technology expert. The website showcases many ways that technology can be incorporated into the classroom, along with a number of recommended links. Each link that I have followed from the site has proven to be very fruitful, in fact, I learned about the sites GoWeb2.0 and Free Technology for Teachers through Huff's blog. Of course, learning about the latest resources and tech available on the web will help me to find ways of getting my students motivated to work and collaborate beyond the classroom, but on a more personal (selfish) note, because Huff is an English teacher, I can use much of her blog and website as a model for how to structure my own online work. Huff English is also integrated with a variety of great tools, such as Diigo and links to online and text resources, making her blog a must-see. Although Huff English is a definite plus for English teachers, it is also worthwhile for anyone who would like to see some of these Web 2.0 tools in action.
