You may notice something a bit…different…about the Edudemic site. First off, there’s a fancy new logo (see above)! Second, it’s completely overhauled to take advantage of my extraordinary PLN and network of education professionals. The new site is designed to have a layer of community-created content on top of the regular posts I (and a few other Edudemic authors at this point) put up on the site. You’ll still get all the same (hopefully) helpful news and information that you did before but now you can quickly see what some of the other terrific education blogs are writing about right now. Here’s how it works:
The Original Area
The top few topic boxes on Edudemic are focused on original Edudemic content. If one of the community partners wants to be featured up here, they can reach out to me (edudemic @ gmail.com). This is where you’ll find all the latest posts from me and my fellow authors on a daily basis. You’ll likely recognize many of these stories already up there.
The Partner Area
As you scroll down a bit, you’ll see the biggest change. The partner area is where you can see the latest posts from dozens of education blogs around the world. It’s like Google News for education and technology. In the interest of building community, every post from one of the partners links back to the original blog post. I’m simply trying to connect people to new and helpful sources of information here.
Following Topics and Authors
Ever wanted to have all the best education technology blogs linked to one RSS feed? Now you do! You can simply add any of the dozens of RSS feeds (click here to view how to do that) to your chosen RSS reader and watch as your stream pulls in all the best content out there on an hourly basis.
This new curated website will hopefully become a helpful tool for you to send friends, new teachers, and just a place to get some inspiration. Since the content in the partner area (and the RSS feeds) is updated every hour, you can rest assured it’s always going to be up-to-date and helpful.
