The most recent website that I’ve visited is Edutopia, http://www.edutopia.org/, and I’ve found it to have a wealth of information for educators. I find this site particularly interesting because I enjoy the fact that it has video’s that educators can utilize in instruction or for a demonstration. Personally, I do not particularly like using YouTube as a source to find videos because of the fact that there are so many different videos that can be posted that have irrelevant or inappropriate videos. Unlike YouTube, all the videos that are available are related to education in some form or another, and they seem to be all very appropriate for any audience. Additionally, Edutopia does not only offer videos but useful information as well, which is sorted by the type of strategies and the grade level that one may choose. An example of information that is available on Edutopia is a blog regarding the hiring process of charter school. I found this information interesting because it gives me the insight I need as not only a teacher, but a person whom is looking for employment. A topic that I would appreciate learning about is not in regards to teaching techniques, but instead information that we, the future educators, can utilize which can aid us in the hiring process we will hopefully encounter in the future.
