Thank you Dr. Strange for your NO "Burp Back" EDUCATION.. Your class was such a relief! Great Teaching!!

Videocasts: Those were fun and neat, i like videocasts alot.
Youtube: I LOVE youtube..im a huge fan!
Posts:There were alot of posts i read and some stick out in my memory and some i can't remember.
PLN: It's still growing and Dr. Strange has helped increase mine with all the assignments he has given.
Twitter:Too confusing
Comments4Kids:One of my favorite things we did in the class, it makes a huge impact when you reach out to a child on their level.
iTunes:Love it
iTunesU:It's amazing what is on there that i didn't know before.
Html tags:Thank you for teaching us how to do that...lifesaver!!!
Google forms:never did one before and it was pretty fun
data bases:kinda understood it, im still a little lost
Google Earth:VERY neat and fun but you need patience for that program!!
Delicious: Helped me with research and it was very useful
ACCESS:I have used this website before with my mom.
ALEX:Very educational when i need help with lesson plans or projects.
Foliotek: Weird, pointless, and annoying
Technology literacy:Im still a little "in the dark" when it comes to technology but i have improved very much.
the future of schools:I hope it gets better by the time i get into a classroom and it goes back to teaching the materials and not teaching the test.
My "intellectual trail":Im not quite sure about this one

2. No not really, i learned about stuff that i didn't know was even out there.
3. I will still use every information and learned but i will not use twitter.
4. Yes this class was very exciting, i was very happy when i learned and understood something new about technology.
5. The blogging was challenging for me because i am more of a visual student who loves posters and graphs and art, it was pretty difficult for me to write out my opinions and feelings in a blog.
6. I was never bored in this class, it was hard to be bored. I was just trying to stay afloat.
7. Im a project person, independent and group, and i would add more because i learn better when doing projects.
8. I think im in the middle about being techonlogy literate. I know some stuff but i still need to learn alot.
9. The more i experiement on the internet and find stuff out on my own the more i will improve. There is so much good education out there waiting to be found.

My PLN..It's still growing

My PLN was something that was very interesting to create. I work in a daycare so im surrounded by teachers, it may be pre-school grades but it is still teaching. Some of the children's parents are teachers so we have a common ground when it comes to interests. They give me good tips and advice, educational resources and even some lessons. But my PLN does not stop there, At the Teacher's desk is one source that is incredibly useful. Our EDM 310 class, Glenn Beck, Dr.Alice Christie, and so many more that have changed my perspective on social networking and reaching out to the world which makes my PLN just gets bigger everyday.
