On the 29th of August, Anderson blogged about Sweet Search. Sweet Search is a search engine for students which has been reviewed by educators and librarian alike. It is a good resource for educators to guide their students to use, because it takes students to useful online sources for research. Educators can rest easy knowing that the information that their students are getting using the Sweet Search search engine is true data. I posted a comment thanking him for the great reference. I then went on to suggest the Kidui browser. The kidui browser is reviewed by educators, librarians, and parents to ensure the safest and most educational browsing experience for students K-12. Th browser not only has great resources for research but also has educational games for entertainment.
On the 9th of September, Anderson blogged about #edchat. #Edchat is twitter chat opened for educators to come together and collaborate. They often discuss pressing topics in their related fields. Their are specialized chats for educators of more specific courses. Science teachers can discuss faults in the scientific method in one chat while educators who work with students with special needs can discuss their difficulties and breakthroughs. I commented on how grateful I am for the reference. It is great to see an opportunity for educators to meet and share with each other. They are able to debate their views and share their ideas in an environment of supportive educators just like themselves.
