We are about half way through the blogging experiment. I met with the largest group of participants this morning, I meet with the rest by the end of next week. Pretty much everyone has started blogging. Many became so caught up in the reading that they forgot about posting their own reactions.

It is the weekend and I thought I would play around with my blog, much better then cleaning the house, or buying groceries.

All in all I think it has been a good experience it led me to new blogs and I know more about the bloggers I read. So what can I share…

I am looking for resources I can direct their way, specifically blogs and wikis. The links below are from Special Education Bloggers, please comment and let me know of others. I know there are some great resources out there. Mechelle DeCraene in an email offered to lend a helping hand to our participants. Karen Janowski is an assistive technology consultant and…
I am adding a resource wiki to Beth’s Thoughts. It is very much under construction. It contains links I frequently direct others to visit, there are also notes to myself on what I need to add. If you have any suggestions please share them in the comments.
