Remember how at the beginning of last week I said I was overwhelmed with all the information about different sites? Well my last post proved this to be true. I was looking back at my last post and realized that I mixed up my sites for my last post. I realize that the highlighting and post-it note function is for a different site, Diigo. This site I have not yet looked at closely.
I keep asking myself should I sign up for all of the different sites or should I just really get to know a few of them? The different sites have different applications that would be useful in a classroom. With technology becoming so prominent in today's society, I wonder if I should become familiar with all of the sites that I'm learning about?
One thing I am really excited to learn about is building/creating my own website. This is a skill that I will take with me into my classroom. From some of the examples I have seen have provided me with some useful ideas for what I want mine to consist of. I like the idea of having a link to Symbaloo pages for each of my classes. This will provide students with access to websites for their assignments. This is also a good way to communicate with parents. I can have assignments posted with descriptions so parents know what is going on in the classroom.
This week we begin looking at ePortfolios and Websites so I'm sure I will have a lot to write about :)
Let week three begin!!!

I find that I try so many sites out, that I loose track. It is valuable to look & try, but there is something to be said for finding a few that work and use those to their fullest. But .. playing is fun and a good way to learn & keep informed.
