PLN

I have added and removed different connections throughout the semester. I try to only keep what I actually use on a fairly normal basis on here. I have my workplace connections, previous employers, entertainment, and social life connected to the PLN. Take a look by clicking here: http://www.symbaloo.com/mix/reginaspln

C4T #4

In my first C4T #4 post I read about the ways technology has changed. Things that were incredibly useful 10-15 years ago are now obsolete. In this post she spoke about VCRs and cell phones, how landlines are barely used and questioned why the school systems do not reflect the changes on the scale that they should.
This teacher had not posted again so I went back to a post from the past. She spoke about how technology had helped her personally and how amazing it was. While living in Bangkok she was able to buy a house in Seattle, Washington, simply by using the internet. They were able to sign the papers while she was half a world away and even when her husband was in Belguim. After buying the house, they  completely remodeled it by using trusted people, internet and phone with picture texts.

C4K November and 12/05

This week I commented on Melissa’s blog post. Melissa loves cat and her family has many cats and/or kittens. She talked about remembering the first time her parents brought one home-its name was Fluffy. She also spoke about how the cats had gotten their names. When she posted she was looking for a name for the new member of the family. Since then she has named this new kitten Star.

For the week of 11/21 I commented on a blog belonging to “wdona”. In their class they were learning how to use mnemonics to help them remember the planet order. Wdona had a very interesting mnemonic and picture to match. The picture included both winter and summer all in one.

During the week of Veterans Day (11/14) I commented on a post from Tyrell in Canada. His post reminded us to take a moment of silence and remember. In Canada they have Remembrance Day in the place of our Veteran’s Day. Tyrell had two videos from youtube posted as well as and pro-Canada propaganda poster.

The first week of Novemeber (11/7) I commented on a student of Ms. Cassidy. This student name was Daulton who had been a skeleton for Halloween. His post was a picture that he had created using a computer program such as paint.
