I have recently moved my blog due to the unwanted ads that edublogs has placed on my blog. Come check it out at http://mcfarljo.wordpress.com/. If you subscribe to this blog please be sure to change your subscription to my new blog address.
I came across this GoogleDocs Presentation one day while I was scanning through my Delicious network. This presentation was created by Mark Clarkson and has some great tips as well as great web2.0 tools that teachers can use in their classroom. Hopefully you will find 1 or 2 new things that you may want to try with your class.
An old post that I did not publish until now…It seems fitting that I now post this as twitter continues to garner more and more popularity in everyday media.
I was first introduced to Twitter by Alec Couros when I took ECMP 355 this past summer. Slowly, I began to build my network of followers. Discovering the Twitter 4 Teachers wiki created by Gina Hartman made it easy for me to connect with business educators, physical educators and many others from all levels and subject areas of education. After some time learning the in’s and out’s of twitter and patiently building my personal learning network (PLN) I now find Twitter to be a very powerful tool. It has allowed me to connect with many educators from around the world, stay up to date with new educational technology tools, and share my work/ideas with experienced educators. For more information on how to get started on Twitter check out this blog post by Kate Klingensmith.
Below I have embedded a recent CBC news segment on Twitter that Alec Couros and myself appeared in. I had no idea I was going to be interviewed and originally thought Adam was going to interview me about basketball.
