Reflection 5

Having had the weekend to reflect, rest, and spend some good time with my family, I find that I am feeling confident and excited about the upcoming school year.  I have long accepted the fact that today's students are ahead of me in the use of technology but I feel better about my own skills.  My goal for this school year was to write a blog to keep parents informed of their child's learning.  I am so happy that I have this ready to go.  I am eager to see how it works, and am thinking of ways to entice parents to read.  I am going to do a test run  soon and see what kind of feedback I get.

In the past I have spent HOURS trying to find something that I had seen on the web so understanding diigo more is enlightening and I am excited to use it better.  I am also thinking a lot about what Aimee shared about organizing her diigo account by standards.  That is brilliant! and not something that I have even considered but now seems obvious.

I really enjoyed last week, and even though my neck and shoulders still hurt (not used to sitting all day I suppose) I got so much out of it; from the flexibility, to the freedom to explore, to the sharing.  It was all so valuable.
