Chapter 3 was a fun read for me, and I do not like to read! These tools are literally breaking down the walls that once limited our students working only during the school hours. I also enjoyed reading about Jeff Utecht, who we got to do a live Skype segment with.
I really like the example for bookmarking on page 59. That really gave me a look into why bookmarking online is a better route for our students, and for us! I am a "specials" teach and lack the ability to stay in one room. I was using my personal laptop, which was helpful for bookmarking, but now I am using the teachers computers in their room and see the benefits of accessing my bookmarks from any computer.
Unfortunately, at the moment, our school is stuck in a temporary site that lacks the technology for me to be able to implement this with my students. I look forward to next year in our new building, where this may be a better possibility!
