Web 2.0 Educator

I explored Richard Byrne's blog entitled Free Technology For Teachers because I was interested in seeing what his blog was about because he was from Maine. He has been running this blog since 2007, and he makes new posts multiple times a day. He has won many awards for his content and dedication, and has won the EduBlogs award for ""Best Resource Sharing Blog" for 4 years straight. Each of his postings has an available  and helpful resources for teachers to use, and he only presents the ones that are free and not behind a pay-wall. He also shows how to install/activate them for ones that might be complicated. I really liked his blog, and found a lot of resources for other content areas. I had to dig a little to find things I could use, but I found that this Interactive Map of the Rising Sea Levels to be very interesting and it was an effective visual, especially when the city locations was enabled. I was VERY EXCITED to see my favorite educational YouTube channel, Scishow, as a resource on the blog. Scishow has many subjects of science, at many different comprehension levels, and each one is engaging and super interesting. This video about why we have body hair, a video for health classes, is a good example of Scishow format.
