I reviewed the blog MindShift curated by Tina Barseghian. She is a journalist and a mother who blogs about the ways that technology is affecting our educational landscape. The posts on the blog come from a variety of authors and sources. The site groups the posts into the following categories: Culture, Teaching with Tech, Trends in Learning and Classroom Strategies. The authors of the posts include educators, journalists and policy makers. In reviewing some of the more recent posts, I read about strategies that teachers are using to incorporate the multi-tasking culture of young students into the classroom rather than trying to eliminate the practice. I also read a post about the inventor of the GoldieBlox, a toy for young girls that is aimed at increasing their interest in STEM careers. Finally, the blog had a post about the rise of project based high schools under the New Tech program and how these schools are using technology and inquiry to teach all subjects.
