In the years past, I used many internet sites to support students learning. Then at the end of last year, at a staff meeting, the podcast, "Did you Know" by Karl Fisch. You can find it on Teacher Tube. This inspired me to be a 21st Century teacher and to teach to the 21st Century Learner. I took a few classes over the summer, one which inspired my photography passion. I learned about Flickr and became immediately addicted to the site. I conintually asked myself, "How can I incorporate this into my teaching?' and "Where are the natural fits?" =====

The Learning 2.0 class has led me down the path to continue to develop my PLE and teach me many tools that I can incorporate immediately in my classes. It takes research, out of the box thinking and practice to develop units and lesson plans that incorporate the tools we have learned, but it is so important. I have never seen my students so engaged and thrilled to be learning, while using these tools. =====

I hope to continue to learn more. I think it would be so amazing if this class would continue to collaborate through a blog or through a wiki site so we can continue to build on one another's expertise. Thank you for all your wonderful ideas and for taking the journey with me! =====
