The first post I commented on was called Connections make learning more impactful #edscape reflection. It was such an inspirational post on all of Sharon's great PPLN's (Personal and Professional Learning Network). She was sharing how before, during, and after teacher conferences they all share with one another what they learned. There were many different networks such as twitter, facebook, instagram, and a few others they use to share all their information on. One thing she said that was very enlighting was that she used to do all these things on her own but now she doesn't have to because that is what she chose. It makes me excited to know one day I will have a great source of PLN's just like she does.
The second post I commented on was called To BYOD or Not To BYOD: that isn't the question. BYOD stands for bring your own device. Sharon shared with us her research on letting students bring their own device to school to use it for group work or to set up for rotations. This is so some school work can be done even if schools don't have the funds to supply devices and it is not mandatory for the students who can't afford it. Schools agreed to it as long as cell phones weren't used. I thought this was a great idea of a way to use technology even if the school could not afford it. It will be interesting to see how this goes in the next few years.
