Chapter 1 Read Write Web

5/29/2014 - Read the first chapter and it had some initial information on the incredible advances in the worldwide web and introduced the tools that we will explore during this course. Tools include blogging, wiki's, RSS, aggregators, social bookmarking, online photo sharing, and audio video - casting.  Ended by explicitly stating that one of the most important jobs for an educator while teaching with technology is to instill responsible behavior in students.  Students need to be protected, depending on their age, and need to learn what to avoid.  

While working in class we learned how to clean up google drive and explored elements of our google + profiles.  The most interesting part of my explorations were in google communities.  Never even knew it existed! National Geographic Education Community: yes, please!
