PLN Final Report
The PLN this semester has been a ton of help and it is extremely convenient. I have all of my school related things like the PAWS email, USA Online, USA's main page, and the national honors society all in one location. As far as social sites, I have Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest in one location as well. My bank account and various emails I have are there, too. I love having all of my most visited websites organized, and it makes everything just a little less chaotic. This was such a good assignment and I will definitely keep up with it!

In Top ten tips for using technology in the classroom, there are 10 tips that are absolutely essestial to having technology in today's classroom. One of them is the use of Skype. Skype is basically a phone call over the internet where you can see people face to face. Interviewing teachers from across the world can be beneficial, and this could be possible by the Skype process. I feel like teachers can improve their classroom and students can be introduced to new learning opportunities.
Another tip that stood out to me is the interactive whiteboard. I have worked with the SMARTboard in classes prior to this, and if I was entertained by it, surely younger students will be! The interactive board is such a nice change to just watching a video or coloring a worksheet. Students can play games on this and draw countless shapes, learning will come more easily to them I feel like. The ten tips video was really a creative video and I hope to use those ideas in my own classroom.

This week I was assigned to John Spencer's Tom Johnson's Adventures in Pencil Integration. In Mr. Spencer's blog he mentioned that this book are now available for download for only a buck right here! He also mentions that all of his other books are only a dollar for a certain amount of time. Mr. Spencer adds a bit of sarcasm to his post which I like. It adds some humor to what would normally be just an ordinary post.
