Thing 17 Nings and Microblogging

Classroom 2.0 Nings was once again a massive amount of information. I did not know what to expect.This class has taken me places that I did not know even existed. I really enjoyed the photo and video sections of this site. The forum can be of value to me when I try to set up a PLN. One of the forum's interested me a lot, because I did not realize that you could use Google Earth and go under the ocean. I had to see for myself.It was a learning experience for me.I don't know about setting up a Ning, but I know I will look to them in the future for ideas.

Again, you have me. Twittering has just entered my vocabulary in the past few months. No one in my computer savvy family twitters. I have in the past year been introduced to texting. It has become a staple in my communications.I like it because it is fast and convenient. Plurk is totally new to me. I can see where this could be beneficial as a brainstorming activity. You could throw out a concept and find answers to your concept.Instead of two or three you could come up with hundreds of answers. I can see me using microblogging as a way to help me set up my own professional network.Even after I retire, I can use it to keep up with the educational community.Edmodo could be an interesting classroom tool. I might try it out with one of my classes.
