Wiki Experience

Ok...this assignment just made me feel really dumb. I watched the video and seemed so easy and then I signed up and that is where I started to get confused. I understand the general application and the potential use in the classroom but it is not user friendly. There are too many ways to go and it seems to try too hard. I think it would take me along to get used to this interface but it is not straight forward. I do believe sometimes there are too many options for technology platforms and coupled with the fact that I am unfamiliar and I do not have the time to become familiar with it on my own. I wish they had an example in this course. Just a suggestion.

PLN Experience.

Do you think it is important for teachers to have a PLN? I think, as usual, it depends on the teacher and the grade level they are teaching. I am not that comfortable with using something like feedly and plus sometimes it is so difficult to keep up with all the social media web applications like: twitter, facebook, Blogger, Glogster...etc...I personally do not have the time. I pick and choose the ones that give me the biggest bang for my buck.

Google Drive Experience

Google Drive is a great tool for the classroom and it is very easy to use for myself and students. Students are able to share their presentations to one location and I am able to help them on their projects in real time. I will continue to use Google Drive in the future.
