I have not had time to sign up for a live webinar. I did one a few years ago because of my work in a research lab and it was great. I checked out the 3 session GoWildwithWiki on Edublogs live. Very good. It really showed me that cooperation among groups working on projects needs to be set up first. If adults have a hard time collaborating in this webinar then so much more for students. Role assignment is important before beginning the Wiki work. Actually I will do a short discussion on cooperative groups and even practice with a short activity. The webinar was goo for me to see how others, unfamiliar with the technology stuggle to make it work. I will know what to anticipate in my students.
My PLN was not nurtured much this week. Busy with the Irish festival and any extra time was spent on the projects. There are those on my network that I know will update often and be relevant for me so when pressed for time these are the ones I hit. This past week I learned a little more about Diigo thanks to Clif. Personally, I am trying to incorporate some of the new tools we learned from class without adding anymore to my bag. My delicious account serves me well and I can find the newer tools like Diigo when I have time and my brain is not so full.
I was surprised that I missed Twittering. There were actually times when I thought it would be nice to do it from my phone. That thought was thankfully very short and gone before I could act on it. Did you read the USA Today article on twittering? Intersting stuff.
It is such a habit now to check my PLN at least every other day that I think I will probably continue after this class. I also look forward to learning something new each day. I will spend some time reorganizing my twitter followings. Some have been not so informaitonal. I really don't want a total glimpse into someones life, just something relevant. I tweet with a few friends and personal family things are ok and even relevant but I like my twittering for education purposes to stick to education, especially if they represent a company.
