Technology with Intention

Snapshot of Technology with Intention blog

It’s time to start adding my blog roll—the blogs that I read for my own professional development—to this blog. Rather than begin with the blog roll from my previous blog, today I’m adding a new blog, Technology with Intention. I discovered it when I started exploring the list of nominees for the Edublog Awards list for 2011. (They haven’t published their 2012 list yet.) I shared this list with the graduate students in a workshop that I’m teaching online so they could find some educational blogs that they might like to follow.

The blogger, Jac de Haan, is involved with a variety of activities in addition to writing the blog. He shares his resume using several visual tools designed for that purpose. (Note to myself: share some of his visual resume tools with my university students!)  His posts are interesting, current, and useful. One of his interests is using the iPad in the classroom, so if you’re looking for good iPad apps, you will find some recommendations in his blog. His blog has won the best new blog award for the 2011Edublog Awards and the Education World’s Top 25 Blogs for Educators in 2012,

Several of his recent posts (the iOS 6 update, creating a classroom blog, digital identity resources, and cyberbullies) are timely to some of my projects and those of my students. I will share his blog with my students (both undergraduate and graduate) and also use some of his posts for my own interests.
