CEdO535 Week 4

The chapter on social networking couldn't have come at a better time! I'm am sooo excited about learning about Twitter, RSS, etc. I've become addicted to my Google Reader! I've always felt that social networking is probably one of the great professional development opportunities for teachers, but it was always difficult to find time to meet with other teachers from other districts. Now, Twitter, Plurk, blogs, wikis, etc. bring the networking to me...I could be sitting at school in from of my computer or at home in my pajamas with my laptop. How perfect is it that I can control where, when and who I collaborate. I am just blown away by all the links to ideas that I have found in just the past few weeks of being on Twitter. I'm following so many tech integration gurus that my mind is swimming with new ideas! I liked the digital storytelling class, but this is by far the most productive and useful class...I love it! And I love the book, too!

  1. I agree 100%, Mary! I absolutely love this class! I am learning a ton, and not only from the class, but from my Google Reader and Twitter accounts! I could get very easily distracted by all of this fun stuff. Now I just have to work on how I can integrate it into my classroom.
