1st Educational Technology Carnival



I'm excited to bring you the first edition of the Educational Technology Carnival, which will be published every other week on Monday mornings (God willing). I would love to have this become a traveling carnival, so if you want to host it, let me know by sending me an email - gxeremio (at) gmail (dot) com. The contributors took the concept of the carnival in several unexpected directions, which is what I love about the blogosphere! Enjoy!

Very good beginning, and great idea. In fact, I'm surprised that no one's done this earlier. I suspect this carnival is going to end up being a huge one.

Thanks for including me in your inaugural issue!

And thanks for submitting an excellent post for the ESL Carnival.
