My journey has just begun

Today marks the end of my course, “Technology for Teachers,” provided by Professional Learning Board (PLB).  Although some tools such as gmail, blogger, and twitter are not new to me, I have learned so many tools that I had little to no knowledge of.

When beginning this course, I have to admit I expected to have a lot out of PLB.  This is only because I’ve taken so many courses with PLB prior to this experience.  PLB has always met my expectation.  In this course, however, they went above and beyond.  Not only did I learn new tools, I was able to implement them and be creative with them.  I can honestly say that I feel confident in using these new tools in my future classroom.  I’m very excited about the results.

In this course, I’ve taken away with me new ways to communicate with my students, their parent(s) and other educators.  Resources like toondoo, google documentation, diigo, edublog (a platform for blogging exclusively for teachers), learnerblogs (also provided by the organization edublog), classroom 2.0, and wiki have opened new doors for me.  I plan to continue using them all to help in my professional development, in my classroom and in my personal life.  Below are links to some resources that I hold dear to me.

Thanks again PLB for educating me.
