Why Goonies?
Because it’s one of my favorite all-time movies! And the domain name was available!
No, it’s not “One-eyed Willie” we’re after here. No, we want something far more valuable!
The internet, of course, is constantly evolving. And new web applications are popping up overnight about as fast as my aquarium is filling with baby guppies. While some of these applications (all of which have lately been thrown into a mysterious category called “Web 2.0″) do some incredibly cool and useful things, many of these new “mashups” are incredibly useless. And wading through this mess to squeeze out some content that is useful for educators is much like catching guppies in the ocean (please don’t throw your guppies in the ocean- they are not saltwater fish!).
That’s where we come in- the Digital Goonies. Like our heroes from Spielberg’s classic, we unearth the hidden treasures of the internet for time-crunched, under-paid educators who dare to use technology to impact instruction. This is our adventure… and the booty is yours! Follow along with us- and let us know what you think!
Stay tuned for FREE and EXCITING web applications that you as an EDUCATOR will find extremely useful! We wade through the crowded waters for you and get rid of the fluff!
