Here are six blogs that I like to visit for interesting articles on instructional technology application in the classroom. Enjoy!
Emerging EdTech
http://www.emergingedtech.com/
Kelly Walsh is the Chief Operational Officer at the College of Westchester in White Plains, NY. This is his personal blog where he welcomes educators to dialogue about how they have used emerging technology in the classroom to engage students. One of the great features of this blog are the tags that are used to identify the posts on his blog. You can scroll through the different categories and select a specific topic, for example, how to use Facebook for instructional purposes in your classroom. By clicking on the topic you will navigate to a page that has all of the posts written about that topic for you to read.

The Innovative Educator: Way Out of the Box!
http://theinnovativeeducator.blogspot.com/
Lisa Nielsen has worked for the New York City Department of Education and Columbia University in the area of improving education through innovative ways. Similar to Kelly Walsh’s blog Emerging EdTech, Lisa has a list of topics she blogs about on the right side of her blog. Interestingly, the topics she has covered the most are “Cell Phones in Education” and “unschooling”. If you are unfamiliar with the term “unschooling” it is a term used to describe students and parents who choose to opt out of public education. A guest writer named Nick Perez posted one story of particular interest titled “Dropping Out was a Great Idea”. Nick discusses how he learned more at home by skipping school and teaching himself than by attending public school where they had him in enrolled in a secluded class for disengaged learners.
