Elective – Newsletter

I subscribed to the following two newsletters: “K12 Newsletters” from Cyber Playground (http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Community/K12Newsletters.html)

and “Surfing the Net with Kids” http://www.surfnetkids.com/emailedition.htm

K12 Newsletters – K12 Newsletters is a website for teachers that combines various newsletters from the Internet that specifically deal with technology integration in the classroom. Because the website spans all grades, in addition to finding ideas relating to the information and grade I teach, I can also gain insights from other educators. Moreover, because the newsletter compiles information from a variety of other newsletters, it enables myself and other educators to receive a broad view of current issues.

Surfing the Net With Kids The second website, “Surfing the Net with Kids” is a great way for myself and my students to become more adept at using the Internet. The newsletter offers a lot of information, as well as links to other websites on the Internet. Additionally, the website is designed for the students themselves, as well as the teachers, thereby broadening the communication between myself and my students via the Internet.
