Vicki Davis spent her evening with my Emerging Instructional Technologies class as she shared how she uses the social networking wonders to understand, reorganize and share the network of resources we call Life. We had the opportunity to then do a "brain dump" on a class Wiki and I thought I would share my reactions with you as well!

What struck you as you listened to Mrs. Davis?
What struck me the most was the way Mrs. Davis made everything look so easy and the way she ad everything incorporated into her life. The accessed everything like it was second nature to her. I like the fact that she has incorporated so much technology into her classroom because that is the way students today are learning. Even though she is a digital native she has chosen to stick with the times and continue to truly be a life long learner. I am so impressed and inspired by her!!

What have you thought about since then?
Since then, I have been thinking about all the opportunities and ways of including the PLN as a daily routine for my students projects. I have really taken into consideration the comment Mrs. Davis said during our conversation about there being a different tool for every task and that one tool is not going to get the job done in the most efficient way. You have to ultimately find the right tool for the job. This way you get variety and your sure to not over-use or burn out the tools and your students!

What would you like to ultimately learn from this?
I want to be able to access with ease like Mrs. Davis did. She found ways to incorporate everything into her VERY busy life like it was a breeze! The Diigo was neat too and I would really like to learn more about that as well!

To see my other classmates reactions and comments as well as Dr. Z's, feel free to visit the Wiki and read their responses!
