Reflection Question:

Talk about challenges or problems you have. If you find solutions to them, include those as well. If you find an easier way to do something or a tutorial or some other helpful resource, share that as well. Read your group member’s PLE’s and if they have a problem and you know how to fix it, leave a comment and tell them

A challenge that I have is that I sometimes forget how to create a new post. I know this sounds weird and its been what 4-5 weeks since we've been doing this but this is all pretty new to me and so I really do go blank when I come to my home screen on my blog account and I need to do a new post, but I totally space it.

Reflection Question: Keeping in mind what you learned in class, what do you think of copyright laws? Are they helpful or harmful? Do you think changes need to be made? If so, what would you change?

I think the copyright laws are great! I would not change a thing. I think they are there for a reason. I think it's great that you can make as many copies as you want and it is not against the copyright laws. And also how scholarships and teaching is not an infringement on the copyright laws. I dont think anything needs to change.

Reflection Question: Would you like to use any of these resources we talked about in class (or perhaps others you found on your own) to help further your learning? Which ones? How might these resources be useful to you as a student and as a teacher?

I would love to start a blog with my husband and I. ITs like an electronic journal. I place that we can write about and add pictures to and share with our family members. in the school setting, i would have my students all join a blog, and we can all relate to one another by commenting on a topic question that i address or something of the sort. If we were all reading the same book we could start like an online discussion discussing chapters, etc. I could assign the student to share their opinions about a certain topic or subject matter that relates to the topic discussed in class etc. This will be a great tool for my class room.
