"Once children learn how to learn, nothing is going to narrow their mind. The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another." Marva Collins --- "In education it isn't how much you have committed to memory or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't. It's knowing where to go to find out what you need to know and it's knowing how to use the information you get." --William Feather

Tool #7
I love this tool, it is soooo cool! I can see myself using this tool to creates short video clips for my class. This is an awesome way to motivate their learning and keeping them exciting about each project.
Tool #6
As an early childhood teacher, I learned that this Wiki tool is more likely to be use within the team to do planning, roadmap, and/or creating letters for school activities/events. By using Wiki, all the team members will have a chance to share their thoughts and/or ideas among different projects and assignments. With Wiki, it allows more input with less mess and a better outcome.

Tool #5
These are the two websites which I have discovered during my exploration of Tool #5: http://www.thevirtualvine.com/ and http://www.thesmilingteacher.com/ . I choose Delicious to locate my information and also to keep myself updated from the links that I'm using to support my classroom activities.

Tool #4
Within Pre-K individually, these tools are allowing more effective communications between parents and teachers about particular classroom activities. With this cooperations, students can get direct benefits by receiving parents' help and support throughout their early learning process. For example, Google Reader giving me a broader opportunity to receive and share new ideas between teachers, in which I can apply in my classroom; as well as daily activities.

My thoughts about building an online education community and participating in PLN is a wonderful way to interact between educators and learners by communicating and sharing experiences through technologies.

Tool #1
Wow! I can't believe that my internet doesn't work. What a lucky thing...! :) What a wonderful experience by just sitting in front of the computer all weekend trying to figure out how things work and get familiar with all the tools.
I guess, at the beginning of Tool 1, I did skip around a little and not following the directions. Therefore, things were getting messier as I move on to the next step. That's a very good lesson for me. I should know better not to ignore any step of the way.
