Here’s the line up...
The school where I work installed Smartboards in each classroom at the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year. Given my penchant for technology, I was asked to serve as liaison to the teachers as they learned to implement this new teaching tool. Once familiar with the functionality of the hardware and software, I began to search out resources to share with the teachers. This lead me to find several wonderful blogs including SMART Board Revolution. I like this one in particular because it is part of a Ning site; full of videos, a discussion board, and page after page of links to other Smartboard resources.Not a day goes by at work when I don’t use Adobe InDesign. Admission documents, save-the-date cards, student directory, promotional posters, print ads - the list goes on and on. I fancy myself as rather proficient at this point, but as anyone who has used InDesign knows, it is very deep software. Whenever I’m at a loss, I venture over to InDesignSecrets.com. The blog is chock full of tasty tips that I use on a regular basis. The rest of the site is an invaluable resource for tutorials, plug-ins and templates.
While my work requires quite a bit of screen time, I also get to wander the halls of school with my Nikon D90 looking for those shots that tell the stories of our students and teachers. I follow Wired Raw File for inspiration - lighting, angles, framing, composition, color, contrast.
Finally, Open Education. Cloistered in my independent school world, this site keeps my eyes open to trends and issues on the public side of the fence.
