This site will include educational tools for the integration of technology into the early childhood classroom. There will be editorials associated with selected professional articles that are related to instructional technology. A list of web links will be included for references to early childhood educational sites. Another list of professional resource links provides options for lesson plan development and ideas for resources. Scroll to the bottom to see the featured link of the month.

maps.amung.us

I added a new feature to my blog this week. It is a map to the left that places a marker where someone is located that accesses my blog. Students like to see markers from around the world that indicates someone has been to their blog. It is a great time to review basic geography. I have used Cluster Maps in the past, but we have had some issues with inappropriate advertising popping up during class. This one, so far, has been safe. To add this to your blog, go to http://maps.amung.us/ and create your map, copy the code at the bottom and place it into a text widget in your layout feature of your blog.

I love this site, it is a great way to track the location of contributors to every website.It may prompt students to inquire about the country of origin of other people that contribute to their blog or blogs they contribute to.
