My 3 picks of the week- section 3

I am still taking my Web 2.0 class. Each week I will be blogging my top three finds to share with our class. Here are my 3 picks of the week for section 3. The first is an interesting article about what the author considers the downside of taking the time to give educators training in technology. http://www.dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2009/07/are-our-training-efforts-helping-educators-or-enabling-codependence.html I really feel like my learning style works best with some kind of training before I just try to jump into something new. Take a look at the article to see what you think.
My second pick is an interesting foreign language site that looks like it will be worth investigating. Sra. E., have you seen this before? http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2009/07/08/learn-about-a-zillion-language-blogs/
My final pick is a really great site that offers free apps and websites for teachers. It looks very promising! http://www.soyouwanttoteach.com/25-free-apps-and-websites-for-tech-loving-teachers/
