My final PLN post
As I said earlier I have decided to use Symbaloo for my PLN. I love it! Anytime I get on the web I bring it up as a separate page. If I find a site I like I will save it to my PLN so I can go back to again later. It is great for organizing your website use. As I have said before, "I highly recommend it!"
Google Forms Complete
After looking at the responses from my questionnaire I found out: 50% of the students are from Mobile like I am, 38% already have a child, and 50% should be graduating with me in the Spring of 2012.

Little Kids...Big Potential
Ms. Cassidy is a first grade teacher in Canada. She already has her first graders using the computer. Her students have blogs, use the internet to look up information, and really enjoy doing it.
I think it is awesome that she is teaching them how to use the internet. She is showing them what they will need to do in the future. I have to admit I was amazed that she was doing this with first graders. I would have thought they are too young to really understand what they are doing. After seeing this Ms. Cassidy's video and Ms. Cassidy's chat with Dr. Strange and his class. I feel like I will not think about my students age and will get them involved with the internet. Students are very smart and need to learn about the internet. It is our future and they are our future leaders.

A 7th grader's PLE
I actually use the same learning network as she does. Symbaloo is a easy way to keep all your important documents organized as you will see in her video. I have not done as much work on mine as she has, but anytime I am on the internet and find a site I like, I add it to my PLN so I can access it again later.
Here is a link to A 7th grader's PLE if you are thinking about setting up one yourself. I highly recommend it!
Two Questions That Can Change Your Life
This was a great video! I hope everyone will take the 3 minutes it takes to watch it. Once you do watch it then think..."What is my sentence?" Mine is...She made sure every child knew they could accomplish anything they set their mind to.

My 3rd C4K
This is the comment I left for Mr. McClung on "Banning vs. Acceptable Use" by Ms. Buell.
Mr. McClung,
I read both yours and Ms. Buell's post. I believe it is an empowerment thing for people to band something. Not because it really is a bad thing, but because they can. I agree with Ms. Buell that silly bands and cigarettes should not be under the same category.
The teacher in my sons' K-5 class last year asked that they not wear them, but I believe it was distracting to them. They were only 5. Although, I do not believe an older student who will leave them alone should be band from it.
