Emerging Ed Tech blog

http://www.emergingedtech.com/

A blog by Kelly Walsh, Director of Institutional Information & Technology at The College of Westchester in White Plains, NY, who says:
“Each weekend, I research a relevant topic, and write an article providing information, insight, and/or opinion about that topic. I post these articles at the start of each week. I occasionally create a series of such posts, to cover a topic more in-depth. I also post a brief “mid week update” each week, about some interesting product, idea, or intriquing article I came across that week. Then I wrap it up at the end of each week with a post consolidating some of the Tweets I posted that week on Twitter about Ed Tech articles and web sites that I think my blog readers might find informative and useful.”
