CHALLENGES
My biggest challenge was finding a Social Network.
Social Go didn’t offer
many features in
free version
Qlubb was more useful for
social groups like
clubs
Nings didn’t
appeal to me since I belong to 2 PLP Nings
LinkedIn seemed to offer what I
was looking for
ADVANTAGES OF USING LINKEDIN
Allows you to create an online employment history
Enables you to connect with companies and businesses
Facilitates contact with other professionals
Makes possible links to professional groups and associations
Provides access to Twitter messages
ADDITIONAL TOOL LEARNED--ANIMATO
Chosen because as a technology
teacher, I need to teach multi-media
tools
Obtained a Free Animoto for
Education Account (6-month
subscription) to Animoto Plus with
50 users
Plan on using this tool with Grade 3 along with photos of our school to
create a slideshow with music and
transitions
Will set up gmail accounts for
students to use when accessing
Animoto
MY FEELINGS ABOUT MOODLE (ONLINE LEARNING)
Provides access to your
instructor 24/7
Enables students to learn online when it is
convenient for them
Keeps you informed of
class’ progress via email messages
Brings the “joy of learning”
back into teacher
education
Is definitely the wave of the
future
