At the beginning of this course I was nervous as I didn’t know anything about blogging or how to create a blog for this course because I am new to all this information and learning about what blogging is, I found it very interesting. At first i was hesitant to start a new thing but now that ia m in the course i am starting to learn new things about my blog. For my first blog post about my introductory I had to play around with a few things on my dashboard to get the hang of what to post and where to post it. The more I use this site for my course and for my tasks such as my learning project that I am to blog about the more I am feeling more confident in this course.

For my reflection for this week I have been learning more and more about my blog and for my Twitter, to be honest I am not new to twitter as I have been using the site/app for about two years now when my instructor in my first year in the YNTEP program mentioned and suggested it for one of my courses we had to create an account in twitter and use it for our course which I found very interesting and beneficial for me as I have found it a great tool for the most part. I haven’t used it that regularly but until now that I am in this course I am finding it as a great resource to connect to my fellow classmates and to find helpful ways to learn about new educational resources.

So sometime early last week I joined and subscribed to Feedly, which is an RSS reader that helps you sort and find articles on topics such as Education, News, Entertainment, information on the articles and so much more. So far I have found this resource a very helpful tool and as well interesting as Feedly found articles that I am interested in. Some of the resources I came across were related to Education, educational technology, lessons planning, important information on teaching strategies related to my my course.

The two resources that I found so far that i found interesting is:

1. Educational Technology

Educational Technology is a learning resource that has educational web tools and mobile apps for teachers and educators as well as a helpful tool that has digital media, educational resources such as a guide, applications, can be a distant learning tool, books for teachers that are designed for learning via handheld, portable devices such as through tablets, smartphones and feature phones. Students may uses this resource to engage in mobile learning as an independent learner or can use the apps as part as a distant learning however must abide and respect the proper licensing protocols.

2. Teach Thought

Teach Thought is a great resource that is dedicated to innovation in K-12 education and is handy for teacher and educators. This tool is a growing teaching through thought leadership, profeesional development, resources, and helpful for the creating educators in curriculum development. The websites goal is to innovate education through the growth of innovative teachers and is dedicated to the thought and development of learning models and frameworks to help teachers as well create transparency for new possibilities in teaching and learning.

Personally, I found that Feeldy, is a great way to find information within education and other media that has articles that supports my interest within this course. I am excited to use Feedly through this course, on my twitter as well as to share with my fellow classmates.
