End of the Year Wrap-up

As the end of the year approaches I'd like to take a few moments and thank all of my readers.  I've been extremely busy this year, but I appreciate you staying with me during my long absences.  In 2011 I plan on getting at least 1 post per week, getting #AppMonday back on schedule and bringing back the AT Blog Carnival.  I thought I'd share some of the most popular posts of 2010 with you, check them out:

Blogging Against Disabiliism - #BADD2010
AT Smackdown - #ATIA2010
#ATIA2010 - Favorite Products

See you in 2011!

AT Blog Carnival - Advice

There is no shortage of advice from people when you have your first baby, and that's where the inspiration for this AT Blog Carnival came from.  Here is some great advice from other bloggers!

Pat (@loonyhiker) from Successful Teaching shares a great post on how she is learning to use a new cell phone, and turning that into a learning experience for her students:

New Cell Phones and Teaching

Kati of Kati's Blog shared a post on how to choose equipment:

Choosing the right equipment

Lisa Brandolo and Jeffrey Johnson of Grembe, Inc. (@grembe) shares some advice on creating iPhone, iPod Touch, and Android apps in the guest post:

I decided to share some advice on how I work with my Instructional Assistants:

AT Blog Carnival - Advice

It's been quite a busy summer so far for me.  It's been an amazing, wonderful, and tiring experience learning about my daughter.  I know it's been said before, but nothing prepares you for having a baby.  The trials of sleep deprivation have really been interesting for my wife and I.

So in the spirit of a new adventure, I thought I'd title this AT Blog Carnival - Advice!  We've gotten quite a lot of advice about raising a baby, so let's see what other advice there is.  Advice on a device, advice on teaching, advice on raising kids, advice on picking AT, basically any kind of advice... send me your links via Twitter - @teachntech00 or this Google Form - Blog Carnival Submission Form.  I plan on posting the AT Blog Carnival on Friday, August 6.

Happy Blogging!!
