The reader is probably a good thing, but I won't use it unless I don't get enough information from my co-workers. I am lucky to work with people who can help me immediately when brainstorming or gathering knowledge on particular subjects. I think the reader would be great if I didn't have a good team base OR if I was working alone someplace.
I don't mind posting my thoughts publicly, but I can't imagine using it. I don't have a problem with it, but I would rather be face-to-face when discussing my work. I guess I'm more of a people person.
I would not use this for any problem that was truly a problem. I worry about confidentially.
The third grade teachers have chosen the same social network.
The site we selected is: http://third-grade-teachers.ning.com/
Will I use it? maybe
Will I frequently use it? probably not
Don't worry if you don't particularly like to post on line...the goal of this journey is to expose us to what our students use daily. They prefer to text and leave messages...I must say that three years ago I never thought I'd be doing what I do today...but life changes....
ReplyDeleteLove your choice of videos...it's amazing what is out there for teachers to share with students! ENjoy the adventure of 11 tools.
Sometimes, in the morning before everyone else gets to work or in the evening when I'm home, I'll check my PLN blogs, wikis, nings, etc. I get some really great ideas that then I share with my team and we develop (or not). You're correct though, I don't have time to visit daily!
