Week 6 - Thoughts on Chapter 3

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!
