Thing 22

The idea of PD online is an excellent idea! It has lots od advantages such as it is convienient, can be done at your own pace and can be done at home or where you feel more comfortable. With advantages there also come disadvantages such as not having a face to face instructor, having required programs on your computer, or not feeling comfortable using or doing things that maybe required without someone physically showing or teaching you.
I think that learnport is very easy to use and have had experience with using it in the past. I have used it to complete bloodborn pathogens and first aid and safety in the workplace. I have also used it to view the pilot of Teacher's Role in Marketing in the Classroom which was very interesting.
After searching around there were a few things I saw that would be on interest of my taking. First I saw many classes offered on Achieving Reading Success,Building Literacy, Exploring Digital Books and Reading in Content Areas just to name a few. These classes would help to enhance my learning of reading which will be the focus of my master's program.
As far as my experience with this on-line class I am thrilled I took it! I learned about so many new tools that I plan on using in my classroom. I was nervous at first but everything was easy to follow, very user friendly and free! There is so much out there I don't always discover and it is great to have a class like this that will show you where to go and just what to do. My students are going to be so excited to use these new tools. They are already commenting on the cluster map and live traffic feed on my wiki. They think it is amazing that peoplel from all over the world would visit our wiki. Again thank you for all of this great information and for making this class another success!
