After finishing the last chapter in this book I really do
now have a new outlook on technology as a whole. I have always enjoyed the more
traditional views of homework and reading but I have come to learn about all
the learning tools that the internet and technology has to offer. My favorite
part of the chapter was the PLNS. I think that as a future teacher this is a
great tool to know how to use. However, like I said in my summary I do not
think that it should be the only form of communication used between teachers. I
think that if teachers cannot meet face to face to talk about projects/curriculum
then this can be a great way of communication. Although, tones of voice can be hard
to understand over the internet and miscommunication is something that happens
very often to all of us. Overall, I think that sharing experiences over the
internet with many people even around the world can be a life changing experience.
It is awesome that you can post something on a blog from the USA and someone
form Ireland could comment on it. We use so much social media such as facebook,
twitter, google, etc, on an everyday basis. Now we just need to bring more
learning and sharing into it! If more people had experiences with blogs, I
think that it would be just as popular as facebook is today!
Sorry no one has commented! Many are done by now, so...
