Tool 2

We had another good turn out after school today to work on Tool 2 and to help beginners get started. All in all I think things went well. Something I really enjoyed watching was peer helping peer. I work with the greatest professionals around! Building Personal Learning Networks or PLN's as mentioned in Tool 2 was evident as I watched attendees reading through blog comments and then adding comments on fellow teacher's blogs. While some of our teachers are beyond the immediate school community everyone has to start somewhere and I for one am proud of the efforts I witnessed. One thing I have found it commenting on someone's blog can be intimadating when the person is someone you look to for help and advice. When I visit blogs by Librarian in Black or i Teach Technology I still find it hard to leave a comment. With that said I will continue to grow and I will continue to grow my PLN!

  1. I'm sorry that I missed the Friday session because I feel like I am taking a long time to do this tool 2! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at the blogs of our fellow Timberwolves! I have gotten inspired especially by our 2 other technology experts! I can't wait to try some more things out next year! I will definitely be visiting another one of your sessions! Thanks Arlene for your guidance!

  2. Glad to help and you are welcome to join us anytime your schedule allows. I'm glad you are building your PLN. TCE bloggers are a good place to start but it won't be long before you will want to venture out like Trout's 11 has done.
