Batchelder is passionate about sharing ideas about learning and her blog references video clips, articles, and current trends as she responds with her own fresh perspective.
 * The resources on this blog are articles, video clips and books, to name a few, used as a forum for discussion and evaluation in terms of how technology can promote learning and cross-cultural understanding. Thought provoking questions and ideas are presented with the opportunity for readers to comment.
 * The posts are current and highly engaging. Readers are prompted to think critically in order to understand the impact of technology on our world and how it operates.

 * Created by Natalie Wickham, a piano teacher in Kansas. She is a nationally certified teacher of music. The blog is dedicated to “inspiring creativity in music education” (Wickham, 2012).
 * The blog contains entries on many subjects; inspirational posts, educational technology articles, lesson plans, reviews of lesson books, information on conferences that the author attends, and more.
 * This blog is not written in a professional style, instead choosing to let the author’s viewpoints accent her writing. It does hold a large amount of information on various topics, however most of it is designed for the niche market of piano studios. There are ideas and articles that could help other types of educators, although that would require the educator to take the time to find them and adapt them to their use.
