Media Sharing
-Use technology and other information tools to organize and display knowledge and understanding in ways that others can view, use, and assess.
The assignment was to search 25 INCREDIBLE sites online for my content area. It is to be shared with fellow colleagues in your content area, which in my case is 9th grade World Geography. Also I can benefit from it as I incorporate in my class as well. Students can use the websites at home to study and do research for your class. Take a look.
-Create products that apply to authentic real-world context.
This assignment was challenging. I went outside of my comfort zone and have created my own network geared to my content area. The creation of my network was to share lesson plans, resources, and more to classmates and fellow colleagues. This will allow communication with colleagues and sharing of World Geography ideas. See for yourself.
-Creative and artistic formats to express personal learning.
As for personal learning, I have learned about what a social bookmark website is. Social bookmark allows you to save and store bookmarks online instead of your browser. I am still learning how to organize the bookmarks I have and get better as I continue to use it. Here's mine.
