Final Report on PLN

When I think of  a PLN it has a different meaning because it involves so many different aspects of communication. Basically anyone you communicate with either personally or professionally is part of your PLN. Collaboration is a huge part of interaction on a professional level it has many advantages because sometimes you may need a little advice from peers and by Tweeting it is automatic info. Here is a link  to help explain why Twitter is useful. Your Personal Learning Network is always available so you can learn and teach new things every day. Why not use all the free technology out there to increase your productivity and performance it's FREE! In my PLN I have created a WallWisher which lets you post sticky notes all over a cork-board with things that interest you and other people can respond to what you like. You can use your PLN for professional development as well as locate resources for your classroom. Technology is ever changing and by using the outlets in your PLN you can integrate these resources into your classroom too. A Weebly is another great source for teachers to teach students how to create and communicate with a blog and guess what it is free. NING is another new tidbit of info I learned about that will help expand my PLN.
If you are still unsure about the pros of a PLN and are not sure how to begin Web 2.0 tools will help.

Summary for C4K #8,#9,#10,#11

C4K #8 I was assigned to Alba Waffles Blog she had just created her blog at the time and was looking for suggestions to name a picture she had taken of the USS Alabama. My suggestion was one among many which were all very interesting but here is my suggestion I think you could call it Close Calls because it reminds me of something a pilot would see if he or she was flying sideways to close to a ship. It is a very interesting picture with a lot of different possible ideas for a name.

C4K #9 We are a class of 29 Year 6/7 students in the beautiful Adelaide Hills, South Australia. Our school is an International Baccalaureate school and we are part of the Middle Years Program Hello Bethany, My name is Malissa and I am a student at The University of South Alabama in the U.S. and my instructor Dr. Strange assigned your blog for me to comment on and I so glad he did because I read of your recent flight to Queensland and think it sounded like so much fun. As a matter of fact I just got back from a flight I took to Milwaukee, WI it is way north of me about 1,087 miles or so. It was not as nice as your getaway because it sounds like you really had an adventure going to all those different attractions and amusement parks. Where I went it was just plain cold in the 30's and I am not used to that. Well I hope you have more fabulous adventures in the future and remember to try and take pictures for your memories in the future. Have fun on your next adventure and stay safe and well.

 Mrs. Huebner's Class C4K #10 was to comment on another recent post done by a student and her name is Sydney and her post was about the snow that was heading to New Zealand. She seemed very excited about it. So my response was: Hello, I am a student at the University of South Alabama and I do not live where it snows. I used to live in Toledo, OH and it definitely snows there I like the snow but when it melts it gets messy, but when it is falling it is beautiful.

C4K #11 I was assigned to comment on a particular blog post and it happened to be a student named Bennett. His class was participating in a hands-on learning experiment that sounds memorable. Ms. Naugle's 5th grade class in New Orleans, LA Hello there Bennett, I am a student at the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama. I bet your project helped you learn a little more about pumpkins since you were able to make predictions and then use the actual pumpkin to get your answers. I never knew a pumpkin had that many seeds. I think putting them into groups of 10 would have definitely helped me keep track of all those pumpkin seeds. I see you were able to take the seeds home and I was wondering if you planted them or baked any of them to eat?
