Personal Learning Network
I that my personal learning network has really developed this semester in ways that will be beneficial to my teaching. Some of the most practical technologies that I have learned about that I actually think I will use as a teacher is Weebly and Blogger. This is because I think having a class webpage will be really beneficial for my students and my students parents. One of the technologies I am still getting used to is Delicious. I think the idea of Delicious is really good because it is important to bookmark education blogs, so that I can improve my teaching and stay updated, but sometimes I think it would be easier for me to bookmark the blogs on my computer in a folder. I think this would be easier because I do not have to go to a website (which I would bookmark anyway), sign in, find blogs, and make sure I bookmark them correctly. I want to continue developing my PLN by learning about new technologies and learning more about the technologies I have already learned about.

Do you have a Google Reader? I get what you mean about bookmarking blogs into a folder. You can do that on Google Reader, and you can just see the newest posts. You can also star posts that you find really interesting, which means they'll keep it. If you don't have one yet I would highly suggest getting one! I can even create folders for different genres of blogs. I have one for class blogs, one for education blogs, one for sports blogs, and one for political blogs. I love it!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, just thought I'd give you that idea!
I agree about Google Reader. It has been a very helpful tool for me. Delicious is good to bookmark websites, but when it comes to the kind of webpages which are updated constantly (like blogs or news sites), it's better to subscribe to them via e-mail or, better still, some kind of RSS reader. Also, I suggest starting a separate folder in your reader for teacher's resources websites. At least, it worked fine for me.
