1. Looking Back…
…and Forward

2. •Blogging
•Twitter
•Web Based Courses
•Infographics
•Copyrights and Piracy
•Sharing and
Connecting
•Podcasts

3. •Hesitant at first, then got into it.
•An amazing way to reflect on new
knowledge, and even on the old.
•Better than just taking notes.
•A different way to connect with
others.
•Allows people to put their voice out
„on display.‟
•Gives a voice to those who many not
usually get to have one.
•Better than using journals in a
classroom for student reflection.
Blogging

4. @scott_taylor87
 Used it before the @miken_bu
class, but use it a lot
more now. #edchat
 Able to connect with
people you never @courosa
thought you could.
 If used right, can be
one massive
resource, in 140
characters or less. @chrislehmann
Twitter

5.  Distance learning,
without all the mail.
 An amazing way for
students to learn if they BLACKBOARD
are unable to make it to
school (teen
pregnancies, injuries,
etc).
 More practical for higher
grades - not as practical
for the earlier years.
 Personal opinion – not a
big fan.
Web Based Courses

6.  Very… very creative! A
whole new way to
display information.
 Difficult…very difficult.
I need some more time
to get used to them.
 Amazing way for
students to organize
and present data… ANY
DATA!
 Visual.ly or infogr.am!!
Infographics

7.  Apparently downloading
isn‟t illegal, but sharing
is. I guess mom
teaching me to share
when I was little was
just setting me up for a
life of crime.
 Copyrights are intended
to protect an individual‟s
created work. Makes
sense to protect that.
 Proper attributions are a
necessity
Copyrights and Piracy

8.  Learning from the
Internet is a two-way
street. Don‟t just
consume… give back
as well.
 Many ways to do this…
Twitter, blogging,
websites, etc.
•Pure consumption leans
towards the “Internet is
making us dumber”
argument.
•I see the Internet as
one massive
Sharing collaborative project.

9.  Important to get yourself out there and
connect with others.
 Twitter, Facebook, email, Skype, and blogs
are just a small handful of examples.
 Expanding your connections just adds to
the community aspect of the web.
Connecting

13. What I will use…

14.  Have to get myself out
there
 Meet and Greet!
 Keep Blogging
 Use Ning more
 Make videos, because
it‟s a lot of fun
 Don‟t stop sharing
 Who knows where I‟ll
end up if I put all my
effort into these
areas…
Overall…

15.  Learned more than I can remember
 Thanks Mike, you showed us many new
ways to use the Internet in the classroom,
and introduced us to a lot of amazing
educators!
 Thanks to everyone for helping create a
collaborative atmosphere
 Good luck to all of you in the future!
