For or this weeks blog reflection I looked at Ditch That Textbook. This blog was written by Matt Miller who is actually a Spanish teacher. After many years of trying to teach he went into a textbook free classroom using a combination of student influenced teaching and technology integration and found a lot of positive results.

The main topics of his blog posts are different ways to use technology from apps to help assessment and websites to help teach essay writing. As well he also writes about how teachers can improve themselves. One of his blog posts that really caught my eye was 10 useful tools for assessment with tech. The reason this post was so good was because it went over various apps you could use in order to assess your students in a non-traditional manner.  One of these was the answer pad which allows students to draw there answer.

Overall this blog was really fun and informative. The layout was really good and easy to follow unlike a lot of blogs of this manner. As well he also includes links to other sites and even to his book about this topic. This is definitely a blog I would go to again in the future.
