Jane’s Blog

Multimedia & Internet Schools reviews educational software in every issue.

Here is an article about one, DOMA–Diagnostic Online Math Assessment (MultiMedia & Internet@Schools; Mar/Apr2008, Vol. 15 Issue 2, p43-45)

It “adjusts to the skills of each student by programming questions in response to” performance. It is US-based and so assumedly follows the US curriculum. It is just an example – maybe useful for revision activities before exam time.

I found these from a journal article written by Mary Ann Bell (have to have EBSCO access to see), some blogs she recommends:

Will Richardson’s Weblogg-ed – the blogs about blogging. eg. EduBlogs info you can now use a plug-in the make EduBlogs only visible to registered EbuBloggers.

If you want to be added to the International Edubloggers directory ….

10 Things Doug Johnson wished he knew as a “First Teacher”.

I have looked at a few other blog sites that Dr Bell recommended and I now realise that we should categorise our posts if we are going to keep adding for years or the blog becomes unmanageable – 15 pages of uncategorised blogs. Weblogg-ed is catalogued and it puts a list of categories with the number of blogs relating to the category on the side bar. You can filter by category.
