The RSS feeds I subscribe to Fox News, CNN News,
and Discovery News. CNN and Fox give me the latest national news and current
events on world issues. With Discovery, I am able to see interesting articles
regarding science, history, and technology. I am able to check them all in one
location and if an article interests me, I am able to click the link and go
directly to that article. I have found RSS feeds to be incredibly convenient.

I had not had a Twitter before signing up for
this class. It was easy to navigate and I quickly caught on to how to post
tweets and how to follow and retweet others. I have mostly been following those
in the history community, such as history teachers and The History Channel, and
I am able to learn different things about history and communicate with others
who share similar interests with me. I am also able to follow friends and other
accounts that have similar interests. The hashtags I usually follow are
#education and #history. I have only tweeted once and it was retweeted by a few
friends.

The types of articles I have put on my Diigo is
technology in the the classom related articles. I will definitely use this
program more because it is helpful for research programs and being organized in
when I am looking at articles. I learned how to annotate and make notes on
articles and how to keep citations organized.

I looked at a discussion group regarding
technology in the classroom. The blog wanted to share better ideas on how to
gain more knowledge on the upcoming technology that is coming out. Mostly to
keep up with her students and make education engaging. I learned that many
teachers are seeking out information on how to make their classrooms more
tech-savvy. A lot of them bring up the iPad or projects like Prezi. It will be
interesting to see how the classroom evolves as they incorporate more
technology in the classroom.

My
overall experience with the PLN Network was positive. I learned a lot about RSS
feeds and how to easily access sites and blogs. I think that also becoming
familiar with social networking sites such as twitter will allow me to be able
to create a more technologically-savvy classroom where students will be able to
have many different methods of learning.
