"Good Morning Class..."

Most teachers would routinely greet their class with this phrase.  Many of our most influential teachers are not those we had in school, but they are the people we interact with on a regular basis.  We all (whether done intentionally or not) set up Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) .  We all have certain people with whom we enjoy conversating and interacting with because of the knowledge we gain from the conversation.  We have people who are always opening our eyes to some new information, or a least some information we didn't know prior to having the conversation.

If you are like me, I have PLNs for different areas in my life.  I have PLNs for work, for ministry, for business, for working out, etc.  You are not limited to one PLN, but I would suggest having a PLN for every area of your life you wish to improve is some way.

If you are the smartest, most successful person in your group, then you need a group.

    I'm so glad you've been able to connect with the PLN concept! We have so much to learn from each other, if only we connect.

Better Late Than Never

Although the concept of blogging has existed for many years, I have never really followed any particular blog.  I have also never had the desire to start a blog myself.   Now that it is part of the class assignments for #eme6414 I am interested in delving into the world of blogging.  I am also interested to read the blogs from my classmates to read their perspectives on this field of study and the concepts.   I am a little nervous about this course, however, I am also excited to become familiar with new social media sites and technology.  I am also excited to learn how to engage readers in commentary and learning using blogs and social media.

Week 3 - Reflection

As I look back over this week and the information we have studied, I have learned a lot about curation.  I particularly liked Storify as a curation site.  Although, as I have said before, I have not really been keen on curating in the past.  I now see the benefits it can have for a blogger or instructional designer. I have also gained a better knowledge and understanding of communities from the paper.  I see how different communities operate and interact. I can see how beneficial communities can be and how much knowledge and information can be gleened from the members of some communities. Overall, I have learned and grown a lot this week.

I need a life preserver...

As I am writing this blog post, I can help but think that I need a life preserver right now.  I have been part of the social media world through Facebook since about 2007.  However, I did NOT know there were soooooo many social media sites out there. As part of this class, Dr. Dennen gave us six sites to explore this week.  Now admittedly, I am part of three of the six already.  One, Snapchat, I was trying to stay off because that is where my kids are, and honestly I haven't really grasped the concept.  I guess I am too old.  I honestly have NEVER heard of Nuzzle though. I honestly feel like I am drowning in social media sites right now, and this is only week 2.
