Final report on PLN

For my PLN I chose to use Symbaloo. There are many places to fill in for websites that you visit often. I have filled some more in. I want to keep the links that I use most often on there so that it is neat and not filled with random sites. It is convenient and I catch myself using it all the time. As soon as I open Google chrome it is the first site to pop up. I can transition from gmail to blogger to google docs so easily. Everything is right there in front of me at once. There would be times before when I would find a useful website and then later on when I could use it I wouldn’t know where to find it. Now when using Symbaloo I can save it and it won’t be forgotten about. I’m glad I found out about Symbaloo because it is something I will continue to use after edm310 has ended.

Don't Waist Your Time

If I was to change my Avatar … ? #avatar #edchat #poll
by David Hopkins

In this David was trying to figure out whether he should change his profile picture from an avatar to an actual image of him. He has met people all over the world who do not know what he looks like. He was trying to see if it were a good idea to keep it that way or change it. I said that if he trusted the people he talking to and they were trusted friends like e stated then it would be ok to put a picture of him.


A New PLN by David Hopkins

Joyce Seitzinger’s PLN was used as an example of a PLN. David did not agree with the way she had things organized. Some of her reasoning for placement didn’t make sense. Although this is true, it is a personal learning network meaning that you can organize it however you would like. David put an example of his own and it was organized to his liking.

C4K Post for November

C4K #10

My comment was on a post about A Typical School Day in California. Throughout the day the kids learn about many different subject matters. The day planned out thoroughly. After explaining who I was I said that their school days were very similar to when I was in elementary schools. They had some useful tools and this was my first time hearing of AlphaSmarts. It is great that they are able to use that type of technology at such a young age.

C4K #11

In this comment about a Film Festival, Jesiah talked about his trip to the movies with students from his school. He talked about how much he enjoyed the bus ride, being able to play games with his friends. Also he said his friend William was very excited as it was time to walk in. I told Josiah that I was glad he enjoyed his trip. Hopefully throughout the year they could take another trip.
