Finally....
I feel that my game plan has finally gained direction this week. As I watched the video presentation, I was rapidly bookmarking sites. I have a lot to look into still, but at least I have a place to look. ePals, Moodle, Wiggio and Ning all interest me greatly, but Ning appears to be what I have been looking for. Of course, I need to secure some funds, but since the price is so low, It shouldn't be a problem. I really look forward to having some real educational networking established inside and outside of my classroom, and I now feel that Ive got some places to begin.

What a giant sigh of relieve and excitement you must have at finding Ning! I know your thoughts have digressed as we continue on this journey of ours and I am glad you finally feel excited to have something YOU can use!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you have found sites that will work with your students. How do you plan on getting funds for this?
ReplyDeleteGreat question Sarah!
ReplyDeleteNing is only about $3 a month, so I should be able to work that into my $150 math budget. Other applications can be paid for with a PTO grant. Year after year, in my building, funds go un-claimed because people simply don't ask. So I'm going to ask. I also know that my principal and Technology Superintendent know how actively I am searching for tech resources. Their support in the past has been very substantial.
It sounds like you are on your way to meeting all of your goals! I like that you threw out some websites in your blog, I am going to check them out and hopefully I can also use them in some way! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI have never even thought about funding... that is a good point you bring up. I have been looking at FREE resources, but that may be limiting me. Thanks for bringing that up. You seem so 'put together" and ready to tackle ANY technology... I wish you could bottle some of that and send it to me! : )
