I am very much still in the beginning stage of learning with many of these curation tools. I do feel lucky to be in a profession in which I will continually practice and be exposed to the latest trends in technology. As a parent I feel this will become more and more important as my children get older. As a Kindergarten teacher, it is a fun challenge to think about how to best expose my students to current uses of technology and use technology to bring information to my students.
I have been using Pinterest frequently for collecting ideas for my classroom as well as for my personal life. I find this tool to be very user friendly and inviting. As a Kindergarten teacher, I like the visuals on Pinterest. Today I was able to get my boards better organized which will help me to access my pins more effectively. Amy, Katie and I are working on building math centers board on Pinterest to support our project.
I am looking forward to "Tweeting" next year! We decided we would include quick daily tweets about key events of the day in our blogs. Today we were able to get this up and running and ready for September. I like the idea offered by Todd Abbott to tweet a list of five events from the day, but to use only a couple of words to describe each event. The idea here is for the list to be less "informational" and more "conversation starters" for families.
I would like to use Feedly as a tool for keeping myself more informed about current events in general.
