PLN Network so far

As for blogging I think that this is the one thing that I have gravitated towards the most. I think that posts based around technology and the broad field of teaching is great because there is so much to talk about! I find it easier now to follow other's blogs as well through google reader. It is nice to be able to go to a site that updates you on all of the blogs you may miss out on. So blogging has gone well thus far...

Delicious is a new technology that I have liked as well. I like bookmarking on Delicious because everything is very organized and I can find useful sites. Everything for this class is bookmarked on Delicious so I don't get confused with my personal bookmarks on my own computer.

On to twitter....
I have to admit I haven't been building my twitter at all. I even downloaded a tweet deck and I still have yet to actually use it. Although it is nice to have I just can't get into tweeting. Maybe someday I will find this useful but I would rather read blogs than read a limited hundred-something characters.

I am still trying to build my PLN and immerse myself into this technology.

But for now I feel pretty good about blogging : )

  1. Sarah,
    I completely agree with you about blogging. Blogging is something that I have gravitated to...both blogging, reading, and responding. Google Reader has definitely been a huge help for me to staty up to date with postings and blogs. I think I would be lost in the blog world without Google Reader! I'm glad that you have found Delicious so useful. I have to say that I have yet to get into Delicious. Although I have bookmarked a lot under Delicious, I am guilty of simply going to "my favorites" and "my tabs" to find what I'm looking for instead of Delicious. Do you just use Delicious to keep you organized for this class, or for a lot of things? I have two Twitter accounts, and I agree with you that I've not really seen helpful results with my "professional" Twitter, but I have had a lot of fun on my other Twitter stalking celebs and what not! haha...I too uploaded Tweet Deck and have yet to use it...hmmmm...

  2. Sarah,
    I agree with both you and Melissa. Google Reader and Delicious have especially become useful for me in my everyday life. In response to Melissa, I would like to say that I use Delicious for not only this class, but other classes as well. It has been great! Technology usually always frustrates me, but tools like Delicious and Google Reader make it quite easy.
