3 Blogs You Should Follow:

 Searching for useful information that is simple to use and easily navigated is not always an easy task. As a Secondary Health Science Teacher, I am continually searching for tools, resources and information that would be useful in the classroom setting. The following Blogs were interesting to me and hopefully you will find useful as well.

blog.netvibes.com/ This Blog is easy to navigate, offers much information on dashboards, widgets and other tools. Netvibes is a wonderful tool and I have been using it for almost a year and I find that it really is a time saver by allowing me to keep all of my online favorites in one place for easy reference and reading. 

hsteproject.blogspot.com/ The HSTEproject is a must see for any educator interested in online learing. John Peters was my mentor and has done a wonderful job creating an online learning system for our school district. Students create websites, wikispaces, use Web 2 tools, and actually log on to the HSTE Project to improve information. Please feel free to explore and navigate this blog as well as sign in as a guest to view all that we are doing in our health science technology program.

healthsciencetechnology.wikispaces.com/Joining+The+HSTE+Project+on+Wikispaces The HSTE project was launched in 2008 and is an ongoing learning system.  The HSTE Project is a Project Based Learning experience for all students enrolled in Health Science Technology Education classes at Hereford High School. The HSTE Project was started during the 2008 school year.  The HSTE Project concept is to actively engage students in their particular course of study of Health Science Technology Education using Project Based Learning precepts of working together and collaborating in order to produce the desired outcome, real, measurable learning that directly results from the use of the technology to answer to a question, series of questions, or a concept by obtaining expert advise from practicing health care professionals.  Students collaborate here in in The HSTE Project Wikispace and The HSTE Project Ning Secure Educational Network.  The HSTE Project will challenge students and attempt to tap into their innovation and creativity by allowing them to take an active part in the development of this project. If we took a look at the ITSE's Educational Technology Standards for Students published in 2007 we see a basic framework for what the HSTE Project will attempt to accomplish during the course of the year with respect to integrating technology along with the study of Health Science Technology Education in the classroom.
