Welcome back to the Roundup!  I hope everyone had an excellent weekend!  To start, a little sad news: The Roundup will be a bit sporadic this week.  I've got middle and high school back to school/meet the teacher nights this week, so unfortunately I won't have as much time for the site.  But anyway, let's get started with Edudemic's article on "How Blogging Can Help Reluctant Writers."  It's a great read and if you have the opportunity to use blogging in the classroom, do it!

Jackie Gerstein at User Generated Education has an excellent new post on using "Photography for Enhancing Social-Emotional Learning."  Her article discusses how the use of photography in a variety of subjects (English, Science, History, Art, etc.) can help students increase their social and emotional learning.  She also provides links to tons of excellent classroom resources.

Alison Anderson at Getting Smart has a new write-up on "Taleblazer: The New Scratch."  If you're not familiar with Scratch, it's an awesome program from MIT that helps teach students the basics of programming.  Taleblazer is a web-based platform that will allow students to create location-based augmented reality games that you can play on your smartphones and mobile devices!  I'm a huge fan of scratch, and Taleblazer sounds incredibly exciting.
