I think a personal learning network allows teachers to share information for "best first teaching practices". I think it's great to utilize for book studies and sharing experiences on a daily basis about any "AHA!" or "OH NO!" moments instaneously. As for students, this will take students to the next level. They not only learn from you, but they learn on their own networks, through PLN. But when it's something a teacher creates for a child, to teach the students to use it appropriately, like the video mentions.
Technology is all around us and I think it's the responsibility of the teachers to tie our students daily classroom experiences with our current world. Like we all know, children's world is now the technology world. Then why not use their world to give them the power of knowledge!
Comments are so important for immediate feedback. I think comments should have some evidence or resources that support our response and opinion. I think students can learn to state a point of view or opinion by sharing a more indepth comment to help their classmates understand why they felt a specific way. It's no longer a "good job! That's great!" There's more breadth to it!
The five blogs I responded to are: Olga Abundis, Kaycie Doan, Renee Mendez, Freda Martin, and Donna Cramer.
