An excellent overview of blogging and RSS with examples of their uses in education. For more information, Weblogg-ed is probably the premier resource for using weblogs in Education. I highly recommend their RSS feed.

Literacy through Photography

I just landed on the Houston Fotofest website and found "Literacy through Photography" there. It looks like a good example of a project that could be inclusive of the young people that are more visually oriented. [Note:I would have posted this to the "Education Resources" TypeList on the left column but, apparently, authors don't have posting privileges for typelists. Sue, please feel free to edit this post, create an entry where you think it's appropriate.]
