Welcome to the Blogs page

Everything on the internet seems to be about blogs or blogs themselves. I have several which you will find over on the right side of the page. Blogs are one of great things that has happened to the internet and the world over the past few years. Everyone has a blog. They're easier to do than websites and a way for people to communicate with each other. You can use blogs with students, and because they are so much like text messaging in a way, students will pick them up quickly, especially if you give them a chance to play with them. For the moment, here are some of my favorite blogs that can be used by teachers.

 Adrian Vickers' Indonesia Blog , is the blog of the well known Australian Asian Studies expert Vickers has written several books about Bali. If you're interested in Bali or Indonesia you might want to check out his blog. It's not updated frequently, but the writing is worth a visit.

 Adventures in Educational Blogging , is a blog written by a tech teacher who teaches over in Singapore. This blog has a lot of interesting writing about using technology in schools.

 Cafe Salemba, is a blog written by three Indonesians about economics and music. I've just started reading this blog, but one point in its favor is that they know the difference between polygamy, polygyny, and polyandry.

 Chalkdust is a blog about teaching and technology. Good stuff here.

 EduGeek Journal is a blog devoted to educational technology. I don't know anything about this site, but I'll be watching it to see what comes up.

 E-Learning Blog: A Day in the Life of a Global, Connected Educator is a blog from the Head of IT at Qatar Academy.

 iLearn Technology is a blog written by a k-5 technology teacher with the purpose of giving teachers practical tips to integrating technology in their classrooms. I just found this site, and I picked up a few tips. Great job.

 Indonesia Now with Duncan Graham is a blog written by an Australian journalist. I'm not sure what he does now, but his writing is interesting.

 Jakartass is a blog about life in Indonesia: politics, culture, art. The writer has been around the country for a long time as his insightful analyses of life in the country show.

 The Lost Boy is an interesting blog by a young expat writer living in Thailand.

  Southeast Asian Archaeology Newsblog , is a blog about archaelology in Southeast Asia written by a Singaporean writer-journalist-archaelogy student. Interesting for those studying this area. I'll keep track of this site.

 TheThinkingStick is Jeff Utecht's blog. Jeff has just moved to the International School of Bangkok. I attended a workshop that Jeff gave at an EARCOS conference last year, and it was very good. He has some very interesting things to say about education. If you are an international teacher and are interested in using technology, this is a blog to visit regularly.

 Tourism Indonesia is a blog that I just came across about tourism in Indonesia. It seems to have promise as I learned on my first visit that next year is going to be Visit Indonesia Year.
