Twitter? And Not for Memes? That's New

Hello again! This idea of an online Personal Learning Network actually sounds really cool! I love Pinterest to gather ideas, but using actual social media to talk to others and read their thoughts seems very helpful.

My Twitter account is @Michela_FSU, and the class one is @eme_2040. See you there!

I LOVE TWITTER, Website, and Assistive and Adaptive Technologies are IMPORTANT

I have really enjoyed using Twitter. I go onto it once or twice a day, and I always find an insightful article or tweet. Between this class, EDF1005, my observations, and Twitter, I'm expanding out into the education world; I've learned about classroom management, helping struggling students, and being observed by administration. The benefits of using Twitter are that there's a lot of teachers on there and that a lot of conversations are happening in the comments to clarify, argue, and defend. I haven't had any issues using Twitter yet because there are a lot of resources and posters are willing to answer questions. From the Web Design assignment, I learned about what can and what should be on a website, because I hadn't thought about including supplementary work alongside the normal course content. I like the school websites because it is the simplest way for everyone to view the content, but they do take a fair amount of time to create a good resource. However, ...

Diigo, Blogging, and Pinterest Knock-Off (Yes!)

I was surprised at how easy it was to use Diigo as a group annotation program. I liked how I could highlight and annotate a website while also seeing others' comments. I think the Diigo group page is a little hard to navigate and understand, but it is still manageable. I think I might try Diigo in a classroom setting, because more and more annotations and group work happens online. It also saves time and paper for the teacher, which would work well for less important assignments. I have liked blogging, but I prefer to use Twitter as my primary PLN. I don't mind guided blogging, but I don't think I could do this without the topics given to me! I reflect better through physically writing information and making my own notes on my thoughts. With blogging, it feels like I'm talking into a void but without the privacy of my messy handwriting; at least with Twitter, I'm interacting with more people and am able to receive more information. A Web 2.0 tool that can be use...

Diigo, PowerPoint, and Tech PD

I liked using Diigo as a website annotating software and for collecting articles. Being able to annotate the articles are very helpful for me because it helps me collect my thoughts and figure out where else I want to go with the information. This will be useful in the classroom because students can collect data for group research projects and useful in my personal development because I can also collect articles that I want to use. I like using Twitter for this because I can add to the education web, but Twitter doesn't allow for the annotation of articles and having a personal area to look at everything.  PowerPoint can be used to support student learning at each level of Bloom's Taxonomy. At the remembering level, students are presented information they need to learn. At the understanding level, the information is just presented, and at the applying level, students can given examples of ways to apply it. For analyzing, evaluating, and creating, the powerpoint can give as...
