FINAL REPORT ON PLN

pln

With my personal learning network, I have been able to organize everything that I need on one site. It has been extremely useful this semester. I have had so many webpages that I had wanted to keep track of and with my PLN, I have been able to bookmark everything I needed in one place and I have been able to access everything that I have needed for all of my classes. I plan on continuing to add as much as I can. It has been very useful to me now and I can only imagine the convenience it will bring me in the future as I jump into my career. I have learned so many useful tools this semester that I will carry with me. I hope that I can be successful in keeping up with the new trends in technology because I think that my students deserve to have an instructor who can open them up to anything that will make strive as a student.

COMMENTS FOR KIDS #8-11

I just commented on my last student's blog for this class. I think this was a good experience for both myself and the student's of whom we commented on. When given this task, I had no idea that kids as young as first grade were posting blogs. It was fun to see the span of a first grader's blog up through a high school student's blog. This was a fun assignment, I enjoyed reading each one.

So, for C4K #8, I was assigned a first grader named Jackie. I commented on two of her blog posts. Both were drawings, one of her pumpkin costume for halloween and the other a picture of her eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and hands to illustrate the five senses. I told her she did a really great job on her drawings.

C4K#9 was a student named Melissa. She wrote a short post describing the people of the Eastern Woodlands. I told her she did a great job with her description of how the people of the Eastern Woodlands survived off of the resources of the land.

C4K #10 was a student named Melanie in Mrs. Melito's class. They had to make a wordle. Melanie made hers from a collection of algebra words. I told her about how we had to make a wordle and we had to do a paragraph about ourselves. She did a great job on hers.

C4K #11, we were asked to comment on a young girl named Yasmine's blog. She was a little upset that she wasn't getting any comments on any of her blog posts. So her teacher asked ours if we could all comment on her blog. She has done an amazing job on her blog and has posted a TON of stuff. The one that I had to comment on, she posted a video about a 3 year old girl riding her horse. The video was cute. Yasmine is apparently has a passion for horses. I told her that everytime I get around horses I break out into hives and that I wished I wouldn't because horses are beautiful animals and that I just love them. I told her she was a great writer and not to worry if she doesn't get too many comments because she is doing a great job on her blog, regardless.
