When I started this course, I had little Web 2.0 tool use. LinkedIn for professional contacts and Facebook for personal contacts were my primary tools and even there I was often just a lurker.
Exploring the tools this semester has opened up a world of new tools and ideas. Below is a list of a few tools I plan to continue using.
I have really enjoyed the suggestions for resources and events that I have found on Twitter. I plan to continue to engage here and I am working on setting up new connections on a true account with my name.
The infographics and visual suggestions on Pinterest provide me useful summaries and examples for topic and format ideas.
The recipe and accessibilty tip sharing communities on subreddits have peaked my interest and I plan to continue to follow.
I have been loading my Diigo library with links and articles that I had saved in my email. I haven't found many public Diigo Groups but I may check this out more in the future.
I will continue to use Marco Polo with my family and friends who appreciate the video share. Used it this weekend to share animal pictures from the NC Zoo, worth a trip if you like Zoos.
I hope to use Padlet/Jamboard, Google maps, and Hypothes.is in my future teaching.
Which tools will you continue to use?
Hi! Yes, this semester has taught me quite a bit about all the different tools out there! Personally, my favorites, and the ones I'll likely keep using are Twitter and Goodreads, although I have really enjoyed blogging - it can be very cathartic and a good way to get your thoughts and interests out there. Best of luck next semester!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lauren C! I love goodreads too but don't think I will be doing as much reading until 2022, taking 3 couress next semester and trying to keep up with my kids activities as we hopefully gain some new things. Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteHI Lauren,
ReplyDeleteSince you are already in LinkedIn, I would highly recommend LinkedIn Learning! They have a great library that covers almost every skill that you can think of! Better yet, FSU Students have free access to it!
