PLN's

I swore I would never get twitter, but after having to do it for this class, I'm loving it. I think if you could form a group to discuss different topics you could have great success using twitter as a PLN. What do you think? Any Drawbacks?

Thoughts on blogs

I think if you worked in a school that had a 1:1 laptop ratio, blogs would be an excellent resource. You could post a daily question and have students post a response to it daily. I feel it would be very difficult to use in a "normal" classroom setting because you may not have access to computers at all times. Also if you were to give it as an assignment, some students may not be able to access the blog at home. All in all, however I feel in our ever technological changing world, there is a place for blogs in the future classroom.

Use?

How many of you other educators use blogs in your classroom? I have never used one in class before.
