Tool 4: Cool Google Tools

Wow! This was my first time to create a document in Google Docs! I really enjoyed it! What an awesome Tool! I will need to continue practicing this Tool before school starts, but I like the possibilities of potentially Roadmapping and creating Lesson Plans using this tool!

Tool 2: Building Community and Comments

1. What are your thoughts about building an online education community and participating in a PLN?

I think building an online education community and participating in the (PLN) Personal Learning Network is going to be very helpful. Especially since this is my second year teaching, I'll take all the additional help and teacher networking I can get!
Also, not only can we help each other with different, creative teaching ideas and resources using an online education community but we can use blogging as a tool to encourage each other!!

2. What point stood out to you from the commenting advice?

I liked '7. Be Gracious' I have seen Bloggers commenting on posts, correcting people on the grammar and missing the point of the context! Not to mention, potentially hurting the feelings of the Blogger who may have misspelled the word! It's important to me to be gracious and thoughtful when venturing out on this commenting and blogging experience!

3. What five blogs did you select for your comments?

1. Mimi the Blogger
2. 21 Century Technology
3. Maria's Modern Life
4. Lail's 11 Tools for 21st Century
5. Blog it!
