Wk 6- Personal Learning Network
So I've decided this term wasn't half as scary as I envisioned. In fact, I realize now that all of us are a part of one now. Think I will choose to always keep all of you in mine, your stories, reflections, and blogs have fascinated me, bringing me learning, laughter, and joy, so thanks. Wish we could all meet up for a Coke and Cracker Jack one day, my treat, just let me know, best wishes to all. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Wk 6 -Reflection-Blog, Blogging Away
It is my hope to integrate many of the Web 2.0 tools into my professional life. Whether it is following a group on Learnist, LinkedIn, or Diigo, tweeting about the best organic recipe, or blogging away this class has changed my perspective on the use of Web 2.0 for learning. On a personal note, I think I would like continue a blog and keep following my Diigo creation. I no longer feel like I am lurker, instead I feel like I am leaving footprints. I am also finding that is is fun discovering the other paths of people, some traveling in completely different directions, but somehow given the same set of tools, it seems a very familiar community. Here's to continuing the exploration? Who's coming along?

Wk 6- #DiigoandStorybirdareBest
Diigo is my most recent favorite as far a Web 2.0 tools go. I was able to design a page called "The Organic Hostess" and better yet, I have followers! (O: #whatisitChristmas? (Thanks to this class I now know what a hashtag is.)
How exciting, on Diggo I designed 6 lists of pages for participants to follow about recipes they could make, questions they have about organic foods, and even provided a space with information about joining a Co-op. I am excited about the bookmarking trail of crumbs it leaves behind to be sought after by well, all who pursue the organic morsel of knowledge. I realize it is baby steps, but steps none the less!
Storybird I also love, so fun, for folks like myself with no drawing skills, the fact that amazing artistry is built into the site and you provide the text of a storyline and it comes together is a joy! A virtual storybook, so fun and so appropriate for any audience as you can alter the graphics to suit a group of kindergarteners or adults.
I will definitely use both in my future, and Twitter... I never thought I would say that but yes, I'll use Twitter. Now that I have found so many of it's other uses besides the following of celebrities. (O: Twitter is also a great way to publicize your Diigo pages.
Think I might also start a new blog just for giggles in my spare time, or on second thought maybe I'll wait until after grad school, although I could keep record of all of the tools on the blog...wow, where this class has taken me! (O:
Thanks guys, enjoyed it!
