[] (Amanda Skilliter) Miguel Ghulin’s blog features postings and links surrounding the education field such as finance, publishing writing, moodle, and his favorite apps. His blog also features a live traffic feature that tracks viewers of the blog, their location, and specific articles or postings they view. It is pretty amazing to see the different locations of viewers. This blog offers so much information through links and it can be overwhelming to digest it all. However, if you can make it through the clutter, it contains pertinent information for the education field. **I rate this blog as** //2 stars// due to the clutter.

[] (KIm Jordan) Beth Knittles blog focuses on new types of technology to incorporate into the classroom as well as our everyday lives. The blog has some great ideas, but I wish there were more links to utilize into the classroom. Beth is very prompt about responding to each individual comment and offers suggestions to those who are new to some of the ideas. It was amazing to learn how technology has really changed and how some of the new software and devices can be utilized in the classroom. ** I rate this blog as **// 3 stars // due to lacking links to some of the new ideas.

[] (Kim Jordan) This particular blog was a great site with many resources to back up the information the author gave. The blog is useful in allowing you to understand the information and easy to navigate through. The author offers links and videos to help the reader and participant to fully get the true meaning behind this new wave of technology. ** I rate this blog as **// 3 stars // due to not being constantly updated.
