I'm finally getting the feel for the shared site references like DIIGO. I also see the value of other news aggregators and wonder if anyone has used Symballoo? Here is the link: http://www.symbaloo.com/home/mix/13eOcK1fiV . I will definitely use this too. Although Twitter has become a great place to share and store ideas for resources. I'm starting to understand more of what our students already seem to know...that the information is out there. If you want to learn something, go find it. WOW, with our feedly site on this blog, Delicious, and Diigo, I've already found more info. than I will ever have time to delve into. I will say that I am excited for this, especially as my school pushes us further create personalized individual learning. We as teachers have the potential to become personalized individual learners too. Pretty awesome!!
Happy discoveries and keep searching :) #KSU-‐EDL7510,

Beautiful Weekend, Amazing Team, Incredible work load
Well, I have to say that the combination of a beautiful Winter/Spring weekend and the last minute visit of my sister and her family made for a very enjoyable but unproductive weekend. At least the ProBowl was on so I could sit down and get some work done Sunday evening. These types of classes are completely different than last semester and I find myself spending a lot of time just trying to figure out how to just begin. Then, I find some kind of technological glitch and two hours has gone by, and I've gotten nothing accomplished. For example, on my Twitter account. My posts wer not able to be retweeted, and I finally fixed it on my phone, but if I post from my laptop, I see that they still cannot be retweeted. I can't even find the settings menu. I'm starting to understand that I am going to need to start using my classmates and team mates for help when something like this.
Anyway, needless to say, I'm learning something new and necessary. Keep at it, James. A little everyday is the key.

Finding a lot of resources, not finding a lot of time
I am really learning a lot but spending a lot of time. I trust I will get better at this Technology stuff. I feel like with all the Feedly, Twitter, iTunes, and Delicious, I am finding incredible resources, however, I am not sure I'll find the time to take advantage of these readings and posted links. It just feels like a lot. So, on a scale of 1-10, I feel at a 2. When this semester is over, I know that score will raise, and I look forward to being more comfortable and confident.

EDL–7510- Improving Productivity and Practice with technology
Greetings all, (tech-savvy ha ha)
This is my introduction blog on my journey to become more tech-savvy. I love technology and have always sought ways to use technology in my classes. I have even lead trainings on using technology in the classrooms, but as I have altered my focus of my class to more outdoor activities, I've lost my edge with technology. I feel the lack of practice with technology and see the need to get back into it. Especially since there has got to be some amazing ways to incorporate technology with my outdoor activities and lessons. So, when it comes to teaching with technology, not only am I struggling now, I have been for over a year. Let me explain, I thought I was so tech-savvy that I could navigate and work with a smart phone other than an iPhone. Nope. I was and still am very challenged by my Samsung. There are just way too many choices and locations to find certain files. I know that my device is a superior tool that allows me to do so much more than my old iPhone, but I just can't figure it out. The same goes with Twitter. I have no clue why I can't twitter, I have tried numerous times, and they have all failed. I'm reluctant to ask for help because of how embarrassed I am, but I guess I just need to do it. I am hoping that this class will assist me in mastering these basic and essential tools, and many, many more. #KSU-‐EDL7510,
