Blog #8- Exploratory Writing for Wikipedia Post

While browsing through the Wikipedia articles, I cam across an article entitled Education Technology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Educational_technology), and feel as though I might be able to contribute to that page. The page is broken down into a few different sub-headings, which all have a little bit of information. I think that I might be able to surf the internet and come across some information that will help me expand a few, if not all of the subtitles within the page.


Some resources and outside websites that I found, which may or may not be helpful are as follows:
http://www.eduref.org/cgi-bin/res.cgi/Educational_Technology - This website provides links to other websites that offer technology that can be used in the classroom.

http://coe.sdsu.edu/EET/ - This website offers definitions to educational terms that may or may not have been heard before. It also provides ways in which to teach under specific areas.

Chris Dede, writes about different ways we can bring technology into the classrooms:
