There is no retirement provided one stays in the game. Busy is busy and you are busy for "good." Your comments have been helpful and I have learned from you.Brenda Jolly, PhD.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09328043370274162638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115180.post-48183632252761715952011-03-22T17:19:21.561-05:002011-03-22T17:19:21.561-05:00Thank you for the kind words!

You have gone "the extra mile," even offering your e-mail address and personal assistance. Thank you! I have never been afraid of trying anything until now. I can't explain it. The many new sources of information just seem to run together. I HAVE also grown tremendously and now I look forward to sorting through this information and using it, perhaps at a little slower rate of speed, in order to tailor it to my needs.Nutrition Newshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681055922234922884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115180.post-90910865841235034342011-03-21T14:09:34.169-05:002011-03-21T14:09:34.169-05:00Shawna and Cynthia,

As educators, we are strongly discouraged from having a social networking site, yet, there are so many benefits. Through this course, I have seen many ways that these tools can be used positively!Mrs. Pullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609682421993386346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115180.post-89945768163715337442011-03-21T11:11:52.350-05:002011-03-21T11:11:52.350-05:00I think that you have hit the nail on the head.

I hope to continue my growth by introducing more of my colleagues to what I have learned so our whole school can begin to grow together.

Like so many other things, we use them and benefit from them even though others have the notion they are useless at best and evil at worst.<br /><br />Then one day, someone looks over our shoulder and says, "Wow! How do you do that?" and the windows you speak of opens wide. It is at that moment that someone else sees the how life could be a little easier and more enjoyable.Dr. Frank Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10215499400544458341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115180.post-46077600759837731742011-03-19T17:14:11.441-05:002011-03-19T17:14:11.441-05:00I enjoyed your final synopsis of the course. And ...I enjoyed your final synopsis of the course. And you are right, the key word is growth! I have grown through this course both personally and professionally. More importantly, my classroom has grown through the course. Though the dimensions of my classroom are the same as they were 6 months ago, there are now windows (metaphorically) that can see out the world. And, even more exciting, those windows open so that ideas can be shared. I am excited about the learning opportunities that are now going to be available to my students... and to me!<br /><br />Would you agree that our next big hurdle is helping school administrators, parents, and community stakeholders overcome their fears and skepticism about the use of social networking tools? How can we help convince these people that social networking opens up learning opportunities that are unimaginable, but truly enriching and meaningful?pagnewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06212282844417303520noreply@blogger.com
