Week 7 Task 1 Debrief

The last seven weeks have been very interesting.  I have never used social media websites like Bloggers, Tweeters, Google Reader, iGoogle or ScreenR.  I have heard about celebrities "tweeting" and I have seen TV hosts inviting viewers to respond to their "blogs", but I never imagined the extent that social media technology has taken us.

For me, having a Personal Learning Network is priceless.  I definitely plan to continue to manage the news resources in my network as I finish school and on through my teaching career.  I can add and delete information to keep my network up to date, something I cannot do with a textbook.

For new teachers and even those studying to be teachers, building a Personal Learning Network is so important to keep up with information on teaching, student learning, education and technology.  And even if I don't use the resource on my network, reading research and studies from experts and from other teachers sharing their classroom experiences, is so inspiring.
