3 things I learned:
#1: I spend some time today working with TweetDeck for the first time. I first saw it used a couple of years ago and always thought it looked like a great idea as a way to organize my Twitter feed. I follow a mix of personal friends, athletes, bloggers, news networks, etc... and I'm always skipping over or missing things due to the disorganized mess that is my Twitter page. I always had it on my list to do, but I never saw it as a high enough priority to place it over school demands, family time, or anything else on my plate. So...I was happy to see that in one of our assignments, it was suggested we give it a shot.
It took a lot less time than I thought.
Here's what my Twitter feed now looks like through TweetDeck...
#2: Making a video on YouTube. I didn't realize how simple it was to shoot one from my computer and upload it.
It essentially did it for me...scary easy.
#3: I'm really going to enjoy this class. I have to admit, everything I thought this class was going to be about already happened in Week #1, I can't imagine what's ahead for the next three!
2 things that were confirmed:
#1: Wanting to use Twitter for PD/PLN. I've been slowly following people that I see as more of a resource for education, still looking to make that next step into a network though.
#2: Developing a PLN is the wave of the future. If I can develop a network personalized just for me with people that want to help me become a better educator...I'm all in!
1 thing I want to learn:
#1: I still have questions on how to build an online Personal Learning Network. I don't know how to find people on Twitter who also wish to be part of a PLN.
