• Blogs have been a great outlet for personal self-reflection, they have boosted my
confidence and understanding of my own strengths and
weaknesses.
• Wiki sharing has helped me organize my Mom’s club volunteer project.
Success!

• iGoogle and my RSS feed are a work in progress & I can envision many uses for the RSS feed in my future
classroom• I learned so much from the CommonCraft videos!
What an excellent way to learn!• Diigo was a great way to organize my favorite pages• With the confidance I’ve gained from this course I have been able to develop my own webpage using
weebly at www.PlayDressUp.weebly.com, it has been two steps forward and one step back, but I am finally
getting the hand of this web design thing and it makes me very happy!

RSS Feed Wiki’s
Voki…the “best” part!
• In this class my biggest challenge was just how to incorporate these time-saving, and innovative technologies into my daily life and eventually teaching.• The more practice I get with these things the more I use them and I feel I wouldn’t want to live without them, but it is time consuming. • The RSS Feed has been a challenge to understand and use, I like reading my friend’s blog from there since it doesn’t have as many distractions as her blog page does. I haven’t used it for much else since I am not much of a news reader.• I was challenged with the design aspect of my Wiki, I was unable to put any graphics but I think it is because I did not choose the teacher free option.• Voki did not quite work the way I wanted it to and then I ended up deleting my project accidentally, this seems to happen quite frequently while learning new programs. It looks like a fun tool and I hope to get over this challenge.
Moodle & Online LearningPositives:• easy to use• excellent sharing capacity• great access to online learning tools• awesome flexibility for continuing education students
Improvements may include:• better use of online calendar or class deadlines• fixing broken or missing links
Thanks to Rich Kiker and the Bucks County Intermediate Unit for teaching and offering such a great class! It was an awesome learning experience!
