I would do my PLN like this because it is the simplest way. Everything is right out in the open for you to choose what you need. This would make it simple for students and teachers to get the information they need.

Blog Assignment #15
My Future Classroom (Revised)
My future classroom will be an elementary class. I will do things different from other teachers in my future classroom. I will be a hands-on teacher, I firmly believe if y experience it you will remember. My classroom will be a more technology based environment for my students. I want all my students to be technology literate and know how to use different electronic devices. I want to be the type of teacher that makes her students well-rounded in all aspects of learning. My teaching method needs to be infectious to other teachers so all kids can get the proper education.
The Smartboard will be used in my classroom because it keeps the kids brain flowing and they get to experiment with it as well. I will also do blogging every now and then as a class to show the students how much information we can retrieve off the Internet and connecting with people. All my students will learn how to tweet and use facebook as a source of connecting with other students around the world. Skype and facetime will come along after that. There are so many other technologies we will use along the way.
I was a person who always believed in old-school learning, I am so glad I don't think that way anymore. Burp Back education is not what I want my students to learn and get comfortable with. I will teach my class very different from they way I learned it. My class will start off with warming up exercises such as counting, alphabets, months, or seasons. There are many things I can develop along they way to add to my daily curriculum.
I do want my students involved and I want to know how comfortable they are with certain tools. I think I will be able to figure out who learns better with what instrument. All kids are different in their own ways and they learn at their own pace and teachers should recognize their strenghts. Many kids look up to their teachers for motivation and I want to be a cheerleader for my kids, I want to cheer them all the way to the finish line.
Time To Make A Change
The way I wanted to run my classroom in the beginning before EDM#310 was gonna be very outdated and boring compared to my new outlook on the way I want to do it now. There are so many different tools out there for kids to use to enhance their learning. Technology is not my strongest area, but I have gotten better since I'm taking edm310. I would never include all these technologies before, now I understand how much these tools would help them learn more effectively.
I will have computers throughout my classroom, in the beginning I didn't know much about blogging. I have changed my views about technology in the classroom, because of what I have learned. The Internet holds an enormous amount of information we just need to monitor our students on how they use it. I would urge all teachers to at least give this method a chance.

The Best Days In The World
Natasha is a 4th grade student in Ms. Feldman's fourth grade class. The title of her blog was "The best days in the world". She posted about her whole day of preparing to go out of town to visit someone very special to her. As she packed her suitcase, she began to daydream about all the fun she was gonna have on her trip. She had to wait on her mom and brother to get all packed up. Two hours felt like forever to wait for them to get done. Natasha traveled to Missouri to visit her grandmother.
Holiday Writing
My kid this week was Paris, a Fourth grade student in Mrs. Morris class. The title of her blog is "Holiday Writing". Paris briefly wrote about what she did for her Easter holiday. She went horseback riding and did Theory, she found it very exciting. She enjoyed riding horses so much, she went again that same week. She also had a chance to drive to Murtoa to visit a horse named Hilston.

Project #13
Using Collaborative tools such as Skype, Google Docs, Google +
Our group is Teachers for Peace, We chose texting as our Collaborative Tool. There are many ways you can connect through technology. The reason we chose to use texting is because of our schedules, we did connect in other ways also. Our primary source of connection was texting and we were able to clearly understand our project and who was doing what. We frequently spoke with one another through texting and we accomplished almost everything. At first I was hesitant but I'm glad I did it now I can text faster than ever and I can connect with more people through texting than calling. This was a great learning experience I learned a lot from this.
