How has this shift affected your teaching practice so far?
The web as a notebook has affected my teaching practice because I can better organize and plan and have it all in one place online. I utilize Pinterest as planning boards, organize my documents on Google Docs and use Evernote to keep student records.
How do you expect it might affect you in the future?
In the future, I anticipate there being even more opportunities to make organizing things faster and easier.
Have your views changed since you started this course?
I've been engaged with a lot of tools prior to this course since it's my last course toward my master's so I will have to say that my views have not changed. However, my view toward collaboration in wikis has changed. I knew how to utilize them prior to this class but never actually collaborated through them. I now see how useful wikis can be.
How can you use technology to facilitate this shift in your own classroom?
I'll definitely continue to use Evernote to keep records for my students. This can include taking notes and recording student reading, photographing test results, etc. I will continue to blog daily, keeping parents informed of what's happening in the classroom and documenting what goes on daily. I'm hoping to facilitate grade level discussions through a wiki as well.
