Media Sharing - it's everywhere. Just a few short years ago we communicated and shared using land line phones, wrote letters and showed our family photographs from our wallets. Now we have many interactive methods of communicating: via email, instant messaging, text message, postings and linking to web sites, PDA's. computers and many media sharing websites. Even my daughter's ultrasound is on CD's to share with friends and family members! This is a new era to be embraced.
As a teacher, we need to excite our students and use new innovative methods to teach. What better way to teach than to use the very skills our students use when they leave our classroom. I would like to think that I am becoming a connected teacher, exploring YouTube, TeacherTube, Flicker, RSS Reader and more.
Taking the class, Teaching and Learning in a Networked Classroom, is providing me with all kinds of information. I am really enjoying learning from other classmates' blogs. Their thought, ideas and sharing of useful sites is such a time saver and support. I look forward to reading many more!
