I learned so much!
The course content was very well developed and Jerrie has been an excellent facilitator! I heard and even talked about a lot of these tools, but was finally “forced” to use them for myself. I thought the exercises were effective ways to “test the water” as they each made us reflect on [...]

Being the Digital Immigrant that I am, I have not really explored the world of social networking. I know I should since the Digital Natives are so tied and bound to this avenue of communication and sharing. I talk all the time about trying to tie education into the tools and avenues that our students [...]

I admit this class has forced me to take advantage of a great Web 2.0 tool, the Google Reader. I have set this up and thought I would use it, but found myself always putting it off until I had time! When will that day come? Anyway, I have been glad to be “forced” to [...]

this is a great way to organize a lot of “stuff”. Being able to have your To Do list, calculator, dictionary, google serach bar, etc. might save a lot of time instead of going from site to site. I like the way you can customize to the information that you want to see or use [...]

Podcasts are a great tool for teaching and learning. I like to download podcasts to my IPod and listen when I walk or am in the car. It is like being able to dial up the exact thing you want to hear discussed on the radio when you want to hear it. However, you can [...]

Library Thing was completely new to me. I love the simple idea that I can keep a record of the books I read. Sometimes I forget which ones I have read. I can also find reviews of new books written by others that have similar taste in reading to mine. I [...]

We have certainly come a long way with saving “bookmarks”. I remember the days when we wanted teachers to be able to access Internet sites from multiple computers so we gave everyone a 3 1/2 floppy disk with shortcuts to Internet sites! It worked but them we discovered Internet sites that would allow [...]
