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!

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...

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, ...

Digital Natives? Digital Immigrants? Guess We Do Live in the Internet Now

Teachers and students are influenced to use technology because they are expected to do so, at least in early education. As students get older and become more experienced with technology, they figure out how to use it in their own way and to achieve goals, such as finding help on homework, writing a research paper, and other projects. Teachers are usually encouraged to use more technology in their classrooms by the administration and by examples of other teachers. Although teachers learned technology some twenty plus years before, they can largely teach young students the basics required to learn newer technologies on their own. My experience with computers, online games, and phones  when I was younger made it easier for me to learn to use a smartphone when my parents had them. One ISTE standard for educators I like is the "Learner" standard, which includes setting professional learning goals, developing personal learning networks, and staying current with education research...
