Starrs - Information Technology

I have just completed three days of workshop/training sponsored by LIME and that was totally uplifting and rewarding. I have always known that learning was absolutely empowering but the experience that I had over the past three days under the guidance of Mr. M. Wisdom was truly awesome. I am happy that I will be able to share with others, that is why I love learning. The more you share, the more you know. Teachers I hope that ALL of us who attended the workshop will truly embrace the special gift given to us. Not only to embrace but to go forth willing to share with colleagues and students. Let's work together to inspire and motivate the children of Antigua & Barbuda.

I had a very good day, one in which knowledge was re-enforced.  But tomorrow promises to be NEW and exciting, so oh how I am looking forward to it.   Then the fun comes from SHARING...

Going over some learning experiences... and feeling really good for having been a part of this phenomenal experience.

Creating a PLN has been a very engaging exercise for me. Knowing that I can communicate and collaborate with like minds across the world while integrating ICT in our teaching/learning environment makes me excited. I have created my PLN by using Classroom2.0 and have linked my Twitter, Facebook, Blog site and website in one location.   I started a discussion and have been very pleased with the interaction that it created and the lessons that I learned have been great.  I have invited friends to follow me on this exciting journey so that we can learn together.  I have also followed friends and persons whose links have interested me.  I encourage you to visit me at                                www.classroom20.com/profile/StarrieGreene   PLN's are great for sharing, learning and growing....

Social media is used to connect people of similar or different interests, using several different platforms.  Once linkages are established people or organizations can communication and share information with persons near or even in far lands.  Geographical location are not hindered when using social media unless there are blockages created by governments or organizations for specific reasons.  It fosters collaboration among friends as well as complete strangers with commonalities, for example I can share with IT teachers anywhere around the world for the benefit of my students.

Enjoyed to the fullest.....

This activity was new, fresh, puzzling and a good learning tool.  I thought I knew quite a bit about websites and searching for information on the internet but completing this exercise prove quite different.  It was quite time consuming but because there was a desired outcome, I stuck to it and now I am the beneficiary of it.  I learnt about information that I would not have been privy to on my own.  I am now better able to analyze web sites and to check the data on various sites as a result of this exercise.
