Hi Shannon, I have to tell you that when I opened up your PLP I was so happy to see a graphic visualization. Like you, I too learned that I enjoy this format. It's an easy concept, there are lots of great programs to work with, it's refreshing on the eyes and mind, and I think our students would appreciate this format too. I appreciated your comments about reflection. I believe that the ability to reflect, learn, and improve makes teachers great. I am not a journal writer, never have been. Instead I just don't turn my brain off much and process, process, process. Perhaps journaling would help me sleep better! Anyhow, good luck with everything! It has been a pleasure to be in class with you! Kathy
Wow, I love your Bubbl! I was curious as to how you would organize this project using that program. I really like the way that you organized your plan, with skills to improve, things you learned, opportunities, and theory to connect with. This was very clever. Your project reminded me that this program could be used with students to organize a paper, another way to do an outline. After reading your plan I recognized that I need to take a better look at theory and study ways that I can integrate it into my lesson plans and pedagogical practice. Great job!
What a great idea using bubbl.us! You mention several important points: first, practice and integrate tech into every unit, even if it is small! I can see how teachers could get busy and not integrate tech into their classrooms. We need to avoid that trap. Next, giving and getting feedback is vital so you and your peers can perfect the use of the many applications out there. Typically, I have not been a reflective person, but as we've done more of it in these courses I see how important it is to reflect on what I've produced and learned. Finally, your point on visuals is on target and if they are good for us, quality visuals can only be good for students.
