My Reflection on Week Three's Activities

I have to admit I have been a bit frustrated in my attempts at this week's and last week's activities.  I watched the videos and I felt like I understood it but then was unable to apply the knowledge, at least not right away.  I'm glad I didn't give up but I have to admit it hasn't always been smooth. 

I have enjoyed bookmarking some of my favorite websites for future reference and that I have the option of organizing them into categories if I want to.  I do tend to visit some of the same sights often and this will save me time.  I am also looking forward to seeing others' bookmarked sites so I can add them to my own limited scope. 

I look forward to meeting with all of you next week, face to face and having some more instruction on Diigo.  Thanks for listening.

Practicing Linking

IRA Engage Site
Although I am new to blogging I can definitely see its benefits.  One of the benefits it allows me to be reflective in my teaching practices and learn from my own documented observations.  It is also helpful to have others provide feedback that will shape and enrich my own observations about teaching reading.  Another benefit is it helps to develop a stronger connection with colleagues in the same field beyond my own local sphere.
