Watching the videos about PLN, I have learned new things. Social networks has lot of things people share like ideas, opinions, and knowledge. There are multiple ways PLN's can be useful to me, as a teacher. Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, and Pintrest are all some social networks that teachers can use to get ideas into the classroom. Just about everyone in the world has at least one social network they use often or a lot.

The video interviews on Project Based Learning with Dr. Strange and Anthony Capps gave a lot of information on how to use PBL in the classroom. It was great to see what we are learning put into action, and especially hearing it from a former student of EDM 310. I learned that it is important to let your job be a fun experience for you. It is a hard job but you have to make it fun and develop skills that make your job easier on you. Also, it's good to be creative with your work and make things interesting in the classroom Technology is expanding everyday in the world and things are charging rapidly, so it is important to stay up to date with the new technology tools that are out today.

What question do we ask? How do we ask the question? Asking questions is the key aspect of a teacher's interaction with their student. This is a good way for teachers to check their students work and see if they get a full understanding of what is going on in class. Another good strategy for asking questions is to make sure you have time aside to answer individual questions for students in class. Using these strategies will really help students build depth and complexity. Asking questions during discussions will also help students become more interactive in the discussions and help improve their learning skills.

There are many different steps into peer editing. First, start off by complimenting their work and telling them what they did well on. The second step for peer editing would be suggestions. It is good to give the writer some ideas on how they can make their writing better. Some examples would be word choice, using details, organization, sentence structure, and many others. The last step to peer editing is making corrections. When you are correcting their work look for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentences. It is very important to be positive when you are editing someone else's work writing. You have to think about their feelings and how they would feel when you state your comments.
