I have learned a lot in this class but I think one of the most important things I have learned is where to find information that I really need. What do I mean by this? Well of course we already knew that the internet was good for researching facts and facebook. But what I learned is how to find real teachers, teaching today and how to see what they are going through and what they are learning and things they are encountering on a day-to-day basis. This is so important because I now have the opportunity to learn from other teachers mistakes and take advice from those who have been there. I get to see first hand what works and what doesn't. The payoff will be in my classroom when I am not having to learn EVERYTHING the hard way and I can take a lot away from the experiences of others.
I have enjoyed using twitter to get up-to-date news and information regarding what is going on with teachers and politics today. I will continue to use twitter to remain updated on the issues facing our educational system today. I also find reading other teachers blogs EXTREMELY beneficial. Like I said, I can see what works, and what doesn't and think critically about things that I may have never considered or thought of before on my own. I also think that symbaloo is a very useful tool in organizing all of these things to make for faster access. As always, the better you are at managing your time, the more you will be able to accomplish in life, your career, in everything.
