I went to teacher bootcamp and looked around numerous resources. Personally, I am overloaded with resource avenues and could spend time that is already a scarcity trying to find even more resources. I would love to implement all this cool stuff and find more cool stuff, but I have a 50 minute prep with three different subjects including AP, pre-AP, and inclusion. In 50 minutees I am to plan, assess, modify, call parents, complete government mandates for school improvement, do homecoming and prom, satisfy the technology needs and problems in my school, while being available to students who need one on one time. Well....not complaining, just stating reality.
ReplyDeleteI checked out the Wikispaces PLN site. It has lots of helpful information about creating your own PLN. Loved the cartoon! On the right side bar is a category called 'Cool Tools'. It has a Seinfeld history class, old segment from Comedy Central, with stars like Adam Sandler, David Spade, and "Tommy Boy" when they were much younger.....VERY funny!!
