I have discovered a few educational technology blogs that many teachers may find useful for creating and bringing forward engaging lessons to the classroom. The first is called The Aside Blog and boasts wonderful video presentations and infographics that make learning easy and accessible. Their latest entry includes a video entitled "The Syrian conflict, in 5 minutes" with charts and links to follow. It is an easy to understand animation outlining the conflicts that have developed in the country the past decade or so leading up to the current civil conflicts.
Another blog that I started following is Edudemic. Edudemic keeps their blogs simple enough to be useful for the everyday teacher looking to incorporate technology into their lesson plans. There one post showing all of the basic features using iOS7 on the iPad, from creating folders, tabbed browsing, and icloud. If you are keeping track, iOS7 hasn't even been released to the public yet, so teachers can be a few steps ahead of the game when preparing lessons.
