PLN Final Report

In conclusion I set my PLN to my homepage. It made it easier to a navigate from one website to the next. I placed the websites I view and go the most in the top right corner dealing with the social network. For example, Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube. In the bottom right I had things dealing with my EDM 310 class like the class blog and gmail. Now I'll be honest when I first created my PLN I didn't particularly like it cause it resembled having favorites to much, but i like the icons which made it easier to find and organize.

Educational Blog by:Jose Picardo
Jose Picardo's blog grants teachers examples of opportunities of how to apply technology. Technologies that I notice were Facebook, twitter, delicious, and blogger. There were many more but I do not know or recognize them. Now the list that Jose Picardo had I was a little confused on the other examples of technology because I really never heard of them. But overall I'm glad that Dr.Strange assigns this website because I learned a lot from Jose Picardo's blog.

Top ten tips for using technology in the classroom
Jose Picardo tips for using technology in the classroom was remarkable. He clearly though of what students would like and consider as interesting. For example step number 2 was by far my favorite step. He explains that you should use music. Students use and like music so why not use it to your advantage. Now I like the idea of using a Podcast. Personally I'm not a big fan of using skype as a way of communication for students.
