I would like to encourage you to start thinking about your digital presence. This class will end in two short weeks. How will you continue to grow and learn? How will you share what you learn? Blogging regularly is a great habit. My colleagues and I share a blog. I added a post this week you can check out if you wish at http://technologytools4teaching.blogspot.com/ . You can blog about educational things: lessons in your classroom, articles you have read,apps you like and why, etc. Something you are doing may inspire others.You can link videos and resources in your blog too. Then you can tweet the link of your blog when you are in a chat on Twitter. The #peru552 hashtag is yours to continue using as a cohort even when class is finished.
Another way to keep growing is by attending conferences. Two great technology conferences are coming to the Omaha area the next few weeks. The first is EDCAMP OMAHA. It is FREE and held at UNO on Saturday, March 23rd. More details can be found at the website http://edcampomaha.wikispaces.com/ . If you can’t go, you can attend via Twitter by pulling up #edcampomaha in Tweetdeck and learning from the tweets that are shared.
NETA is the Nebraska Educational Technology conference held April 25-26 at the La Vista Embassy Suites. More details and registration can be found at http://www.netasite.org/ . The hashtag for this conference is #neta13.
These are both great ways to get connected, collaborate, and get great new ideas for using technology in your classrooms! I will be at both of them. Even if you don’t attend, make sure to learn virtually by following the hashtags #edcampomaha and #neta13!
Be on the look out for conferences to attend so you can continue to learn, share, and grow!
