Final PLN Report

Click the image of Symbaloo or here to gain access to all my links!

My PLN was done on the symbaloo. After figuring out all the short cuts it allows to get to your most used web sites, it became a life line for me. I really on my symbaloo so much that when I find something really interesting that I think I may use in the near future, I literally I have to sit in front of my laptop and think about what to delete so I can put my new link in. So, over all the symbaloo was very useful and I will continue using it.

Summary of Comments for Kids

I had a wonderful time commenting on student's blogs from other schools. Helena was very interested in current events, mainly because their class has been doing them in groups. Another blog that I was reading was a fifth grade class who presents all their work together. Their assignments were truly interesting and intriguing, they were like very informative stories. So, I really enjoyed reading all their stories. Zoe is very hard working student who I commented on. She is one of those students who wants to succeed in all she does, and with the determination she had on all the projects she had to finish. My first comment in November was for Noel Elementary school, but they had and still have technical issues. All in all I really enjoyed all the different students I got to chat with and got to learn different things from all over.

Summary Comments for Teachers 4

Dianne Krause was the teacher I had to blog with this week. I believe I was very lucky to be paired with her, and was able to comment on her blog. She had some very wonderful ideas for was of teaching, and allowing easier ways for students to learn. She gave her own opinion about smartboards and how they have been more useful to students in classroom because they allow the students to be more interactive, which makes them more eager to learn. Unlike when students were just expected to sit there, listen and take notes without getting antsy. Some other important things she touched on google doc templates for Mathematics and Science. It gives the students and teacher a way to keep in touch a collaborate on school work, projects, or questions they may have; and also allow students to share, create, and store other types of information. The last thing of many I will tell everyone about that caught my eye was a Smartbrief new letter. It is basically a news letter that is sent out daily, free of charge, for teachers and users of technology alike to help them better navigate the ever changing technology of computers. Overall I really enjoyed reading Mrs. Krause blog because she has a lot of information that can be used later or even know as we are still in school.
