Wilber's Sources

I found many blogs and wiki's, and digital story links in Wilber's work that didn't jump out to me.  However, I found a few that I actually am going to try and follow!

I know many of the blogs talked very factually about teaching and how to integrate outside sources into the classroom.  However, what I found to be most inspirational of all the blogs was http://doyle-scienceteach.blogspot.com/.  This teacher not only addresses being a teacher and the activities he does in the classroom, but he reflects emotionally on his experiences.  He doesn't glorify all the perks and great feelings he gets out of the success of his students but he openly discusses the doubt he sometimes has as a science teacher.  He discusses in full he adventures in nature, with hands on activities and then compares it to what he may believe his teenage students are doing.  His posts are very thoughtful and almost philosophical; I loved them!

One other blog I liked was http://teenink.com/.  This is general website where you can look at fellow teens articles.  It is a sight for highschooler's to look at fellow teens writings.  The one that caught my eye was a poem titled "A Holocaust Victim's Point of View." (http://teenink.com/poetry/free_verse/article/192066/A-Holocaust-Victims-Point-Of-View/).
I loved how it doesn't have to be just informational but it could be creative as well.

The source http://www.classroom20.com/group/digitalstorytelling was interesting simply because it allowed for a mass amount of teachers and professors from around the world to share digital stories they or their classmates have done.  It was cool to see from elementary school students to college level learners, how digital storytelling can be assigned and utilized in a classroom.

Overall I think I prefer blogs still over most of the sources I explored.  I believe it is because it encourages a more personal opinion to be used within posts.  I would rather hear how people feel about certain topics then just click on links that are only fact based.  Knowing the ups and downs of a classroom is vital insight that I know will provide a realistic sense of how to use technology and what it will really be like dealing with real students in an actual classroom.
