Final PLN Report
I really wasn't as active on the computer as much as I normally am. I only got on the computer to do my work for this class. However, before the class started I would be on the internet hours a day doing any and everything. My PLN helped me so much this semester because it was something I used to use on a regular bases. It wasn't something I had to learn how to do and that was a sigh relief lol. I think my Personal Learning Network will be something I will always use and can introduce in the classroom to my students.
C4K Summary
Lessons learned... In Mr. Clung's class at woodland they have a club day. Club day is when students participate in a club based off of there interest. This particular club day the students played on the Wii. It is a nice break from their normal routine and the teachers also get to build relationships with the students.
Hayley is a student in student in ms. Thompson class. her blog post was about the Japanese Tsunamis. That week they leaned about the tsunamis and she made a picture collage using photos out of the newspaper. She also identified and explain other natural disasters.
Mrs. Yollis is a California teacher. She has been teaching for 24 years. She is currently teaching 3rd grade but in the past she has taught 5th grade. She recently received her Masters in Integrating Technology in the classroom. Her and her husband love to travel when she is not teaching in the classroom. Above all she loves being being a teacher and a student.
Hannah Hacienda is a student is Mrs. Yollises class. Her blog is very nice. She has a jelly bean back ground and it really stands out. For a 3rd grader her blog is very advanced. The post I commented on was when she participated in an Iranianina celebration called Seezdah-Bedar! In this post she explained what the holiday is and when it was celebrated. She was very informative in her post. She had pictures of the celebration and she explained her whole day. I thought it was a very good post because I learned something new.

Summary of C4T #4
My teacher was Mary Worrell and the name of her blog is See Mary Teach. The first post I commented on was named Giving myself room to learn..and my film making debut. Basically this post was about how she was a teacher who wanted to use technology in the classroom but did not have the resources. And after realizing that using the digital camera/ video in the room would be a lot of work she was a bit happy that she did not have resources. After participating in a collaboration with other teachers she was introduced to video techniques in the classroom. She then saw how easy it was to use and was amazed. She then summed up that if teachers like her would just take the first step and try, they will learn that all it takes is to be brave enough to fail, get back up , and try again.
The second blog post is named the Reading the gender binary. In this post she is talking about the language difference in books that are made for girls to read and boys to read. This blog explains that that the language used for each gender does not always fit. There are girls who are more than boyish and boys who are more than sensitive. These kids are noticing their gender differences at an earlier age and are becoming more comfortable with letting the world that. And the language that we use (in the books for reading) must start portraying that.
