Personal learning networks will allow teachers and students a way to communicate with others based on our interests, right? The thoughts I have on building an online education community is that it offeres another way to meet without having to interface personally. What works with other educators in other parts of the nation to control cyber bullying? This is a question I have in order to be prepared to teach my students of PLN's. Participating in a personal learning network will benefit me by communicating more freely and instantly in order to obtain advice on what will help me be an effective teacher where students learn during their first go around.
As I communicate with other peers and get feedback on what is trying for me is great! Sort of looking for ideas on how to teach a Tek that I don't quite understand. I have a Facebook account and find that I am not really using it to the fullest. If I would like to entice comments, I need to follow some of the ideas shared to have lurkers respond to postings. This is what I took from the commenting advice. Now, take what I have learned and apply it to my professional learning community on blog spot! Asking questions is a great way to get people to help me with questions that I have.
Lastly, as I "move through the various activities" I will comment on five blogs.
The blogs I have commented on are for 2nd Grade Blogger for Tool #1, Mary-saurus for Tool #2, and Sylvia's Blog for Tool #3. For Tool #4 I commented on teachKg's blogspot and lastlyI commented on valera-marisela's blog spot for Tool #5.
Hi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteI like your comment you made, "The thoughts I have on building an online education community is that it offers another way to meet without having to interface personally." As I read the articles, I was making my connection on how to apply this to my real world. Once school starts, every minute is precious. Often time, meeting face to face is difficult and it takes you away from preparing for the next subject. Yet on the other hand, I also understand that it is important to meet.
Having the opportunity to meet through blogs and other neat things available in technology will make it less stressful to obtain the information that is required as well as get the help you need with instruction and student learning.
I have a Facebook account also. I find that I do more reading of others blogs than posting on Facebook. I like to see what other people are doing and look at their photos. I think this blog will lend itself more to learning and reading interesting things that we can apply to our teaching.
ReplyDeleteHi Ladies,
ReplyDeleteI'm happily surprised to find your comments!
Exciting to have us work closer together now and reach out via our blogs!
Happy Summer!
Sandra
