C4T#1 Summary

I read Steven Alexander's blog about #EdChat and Sweet Search. #EdChat is a site where teachers can come together and talk about their problems or ideas. It is divided into a number of different groups. There is a group for new teachers, administrators, special education teachers, and many more. I commented on this post letting him know how much I liked this idea, especially for new teachers. I think it is a great way for teachers to get help and support. His second post I read was about Sweet Search. This is a tool for students to search topics for school without having to go through all the links Google provides to find credible sources. It shows the top twenty sites that are most relevant to the search topic. Results from trusted sources like the Library of Congress, universities, and PBS are at the top of the list. I commented post telling him how awesome I thought this site was. I know how frustrated I get trying to find a site I can trust when searching something for school.
