PLN's: This made me think about the differences between my Personal Learning Environment and my students Personal Learning Environment. My students will know the same or more technology tools than I know. This means that I need to be prepared for the students coming into my classroom. I need to be prepared to use some of these tools in order to further engage my students.
The Typical Teacher and the Connected Teacher: Typical Teacher: Curricular Documents, Colleges, Popular Media, Print and Digital Resources, Family and Local Community. Hmmmmm.... Not really thinking outside of the box!
Connected Teacher: So much more!! This teacher looks at the same as the typical teacher plus wiki's, blogs, chats, social networking, digital fora, social bookmarking,and digital photo sharing. I feel that I am well on my way to being a connected teacher. I understand why it is important to be a connected teacher! Why not make your classroom an engaging environment using resources from more than the typical sources!
