Tool #2

1. I think that building an online education community is a good thing. Students are very interested in technology today and are view learning through technology as fun, and not work. Children are used to the fast pace of video games and other technology, so they will be excited to learn through this media.

2. The comment that stood to me is to teach commenting. I will need to teach my students how to expand on their thoughts, and how to tell the why for what they are thinking. This will be beneficial for my kids in other content areas because they will learn how to justify their answers and explain their thinking.

3. The blogs that I chose to look at and make comments on were:

Jackson's Blog (Nancy Jackson)

Steph's Cafe (Stephanie Robledo)

The Little Blogger That Could (Melanie Dulworth)

Yippee Technology Keeping the Brain Young (Candy Carl)

Lail's 11 Tools for the 21st Century (Amy Lail)
