Wms Amazing Endings/Beginnings

This has definitely been a rewarding experience.  I was extremely suprised by the number of resources available to assist in today's technological savy classrooms.  While I anxiously awaited getting to this point in the assignment, I also look forward to putting the knowledge into effect.  The experiences and discoveries that will be most remembered are:

1.  Wikis - the collaborative content management systems that will be helpful in establishing information updates to my students and parents.

2.  RSS is Really Simple Syndicate that can be used to access all information that pertains to my interests of news, entertainment, and education.

3.  Social Bookmarking allows me the access of all of the websites that have been saved in my favorites and now accessed from anywhere.

4.  Remember the milk manages my list of things to do on my phone minimizing my various manual calendar print outs, sticky notes, and index cards.

5.  Live Binders enable me to store all of my documents and resources in one central digital location, freeing up my closet spaces, drawers, and luggage.

Technological advances continue to be more prominate in today's classrooms.  I can easily see using all of the tools provided in this class in order to enhance learning in my classroom.  Additionally, the class provided means (blogs, Teachpop, Facebook) of staying abreast of both changes and challenges, by establishing open means of communication with other educators.

Though I feel that I subscribed to far too many accounts (one thing I'd change aobut the program).  I plan to keep abreast of upcoming educational changes through Teachpop and my RSS feed.   I will use Google Reader to stay abreast of of 2.0 updates.
