The Challenge for today, Day 14, is to turn the Ruminations Blog over to my readers, so I am opening the blog up to readers and fellow educators for comments on the following question:

What are your favorite online educational resources?

What I am looking for are the resources that you routinely share with colleagues that help make their teaching easier, using computers easier or more cheaply, like on an adjunct professors budget.

My Favorite Online Educational Resources

I created my own list of Online Educational Resources that I’ve posted on the site as a permanent page.

I am created a permanent page of my favorite Web 2.0 resources (which will be embellished based on answers to this question).

With a bit of luck, I might be able to compile a very useful list of online resources for other online educators.

Day 14: Turn Your Blog Over to Your Readers

The challenge for today is to turn the blog over to your readers and ask them to write a post through the comment section. The thought is that in doing this the readers may generate a better post than you can yourself.

Accomplishments Day 14

1. Posting the Question for Day 14.

2. Visiting Other Participants Webpages and answering their questions.

3. Catching up to date with the Comment Challenge.

4. Writing and Posting the blog for Day 14.

5. Taking off in search of other Comment Challenge Participants to comment on their blogs.

6. Doing a victory dance for getting a post done and posted on the same day of the challenge!

Reflections on Day 14

These will be coming after people have posted their comments. It is interesting that today’s post feels unfinished, since it requires responses from those reading the blog.

I am looking forward to seeing what others discover.

Revelations I discovered that I already have a whole host of Web 2.0 resources that I’ve been discovering, exploring and using that I can easily recommend to other colleagues.
