Greg, I think the best use of blogging is almost like a journal for yourself more than for others. Blogs can be extraordinary ways of "talking out" what's happening in the classroom, of examining how you're…

Would love to dive into blogging but don't seem to have the time also. I also joined Twitter and am trying to expand my PLN.

Hi Greg, that is exactly what I have been doing this summer. I haven't yet started my own blog and I can see where deciding what to blog about is something to think about.

I'm with Donelle. Tell us the address once you create it, Greg, and we'll be your first hits. We'll even add comments (which are sometimes hard to come by.)

Donelle replied to Greg Schwanke's discussion 'Personal Learning Network (PLN)'

So, are you ready to start your blog yet? I encourage you to try it out now, before school starts up again. Looking forward to seeing it. :)

You still could. Is it reasonable to send a summative end-of-session email, listing those stimulating ideas with potential follow-up? Or post them on a wiki? I'm not sure what your teaching situation was, but I've used this where I had the…

I'll add one idea to your list for blog topics, Marsha: Listen to your students and parents. What's on their mind that you can discuss more thoroughly in a blog format. Meaning, you can edit, rethink, clarify, before publishing.

Dear Greg, I've been blogging since 2003 and I have to tell you that you have asked the right questions...it is a time taker upper and sometimes you run out of ideas. I started off by reflecting on my own experiences in the classroom...things…

Hi Marilyn! So happy to "meet" you! You've piqued my interest: what is the "Tech It Out!" quiz? Can you share? I just finished teaching a summer course on technology integration for preservice teachers. My students -- the…

Hi Jennifer - Well you've taken a 'puller' to 'pusher' status! This is my first contribution to the discussion. Here goes... The emerging technologies light bulb clicked on for me this spring working with a district outside…

Donelle replied to Greg Schwanke's discussion 'Personal Learning Network (PLN)'

Jennifer, You always give such good advice! :) I'm going to check out those links you mentioned too. Greg, I am a new blogger as well. I have yet to pick up the momentum that I want. I have a lot of unfinished drafts in my blog and a list of…

Jacqui Murray replied to Greg Schwanke's discussion 'Personal Learning Network (PLN)'

I'll jump in on the pro side, Greg. I blog to organize my thoughts--for myself, my parents and students--and to force me to stay up to date on what's happening in the education world. I collect a variety of feeds on my Google homepage and…

Miss A replied to Greg Schwanke's discussion 'Personal Learning Network (PLN)'

I blog to flesh out my thinking abt things happening in my life and classroom. Therefore my blog is a mish mash of things. I share my learning experiences as well as teaching practices. I talk abt weight and relationships and dating. For me it is a…

Hi, Greg. First off, I don't think you need a blog to have a vital and fruitful PLN. When framed in terms of the "push/pull" web, networks like Classroom 2.0 may be all you need to access ("pull") and share…

Personal Learning Network (PLN)

So far this summer, I have expanded my PLN by joining social networks, following blogs, and beginning to Twitter (gschwanke18). However, I have yet to begin blogging on my own. I have always thought about beginning my own blog, but I really don't know how to begin. What do I write about? Will I have time to maintain it? What will I and others get out of it? These a just a few questions that I think everytime I get the urge to start a blog. I would like to hear from others who have started their…See More

With your passion for Education Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording conducted by Nellie Deutsch on Technology Integration.
