I have enjoyed this class thus far because of the guidance that I am receiving through social media networking. I have already found multiple articles on Twitter that I have incorporated into my other classes, and some that I have found very helpful with the teaching notebook that I am creating. I am going to use this notebook to write down any extra tips that I have learned from class to make me a better teacher when I become one. One article that I found told me about 5 great apps that I can use as a teacher to keep in close contact with parents at all times (I won't go into detail now....I'm saving that for our APP SMACKDOWN!) The only problem that I have run into with Twitter is finding the time to use it, as I work two jobs and am taking five classes.
The most important part that I took from the following video from YouTube is that you must remember that a PLN is a two way process. You need to remember to bring your own questions and ideas to the table in order to create a PLN that will be successful.
I have also found Schoology to be very helpful because it is not as cluttered as Blackboard. It is more organized and easy to navigate, and everything is straightforward. I thought that the chat with Jerry was awesome, and I am excited to explore his many pages when I have a question that I need answered.
Find me on Twitter so we can explore the process together! :)
