I am an occasional teacher with the HWDSB. I am relatively new to participating in this Great Technological Revolution. I have done a few blogs on Posterous and glogs on Glogster, but I am enjoying the flexibility of Wordpress. I have learned to just dive right in. Even if you manage to mess stuff up, there is always help available (erm, right, PLN?).
At first, I was a Twitter skeptic, but as soon as I joined and became part of a PLN, the rest, as they say, was history:) I do find myself having to just turn it off and ignore it though, as there is just so much relevant information. You gotta get the balance right between Social Network and f2f connections! At least it qualifies the claims on our resumes that we are life-long learners!
I have used the tagline, "Come Learn With Me..." to invite you into my learning process. I realize that we are all learning together in this Brave New World; in our Web 20, soon to be 30, classrooms (well, I don't have a classroom, I have always been learning and collecting ideas in other people's classrooms - my online experience is a natural extension of that, I guess).
Anyway, my Blogs will be about Education in the 21st Century (no, duh, whose isn't?!). I also have an interest in Bullying and how Social Networks could and should be used for good. Since, I am rather fond of cooking, I may also sneak in some recipes, perhaps on a Recipe page (ooh, clever!). I will Blog about MY experiences with learning and share some of the neato resources I come across.
I also welcome any suggestions for being a better blogger, as I am fairly new at this!
Enjoy your quest for knowledge, and ALWAYS BUMP IT UP:)
