Welcome to Chalk Talk



Abby and I decided to try something new this fall and this is it – a blog!!

Over the past year since Abby has become part of our staff, she and I have found ourselves talking about a lot of exciting resources, some old, some new. It’s been fun and enlightening for both of us, but we felt we wanted to do more. We wanted to share these resources and our thoughts about them with a wider audience - the students, faculty and staff of the College of Education. Knowing how hard it is to keep up new resources and technology we thought this would provide you with a bit more support in this area. At first we thought about sending emails, however, filling your inbox with another message would probably not win us any new friends. So instead we decided on this blog.

There will only be one post a week and each post will be brief – two to three paragraph – discussing practice uses for the resource or technology found in our library and elsewhere. We will discuss both curriculum and research related items. So one week we may be discussing an app you can use in the classroom and then next a new research resource/tool.


We hope you will benefit from our discussions. Let us know if you have any questions and/or suggestions. If nothing else this will give us an opportunity to put in writing our own thoughts about educational research and technology.

Have a great semester.
