    In an effort to NOT see only apps and to turn the focus on pedagogy and the iPad as a LEARNING and THINKING tool, the author of this blog is trying to bring attention to apps THROUGH THE LENS of Bloom's Taxonomy, Gardner's Multiple Intelligences and 21st Century Skills and Literacies. Great visuals.

  • I’m sure you are coming to realize the awesome power of Twitter and your PLN. But you may be finding it a bit hard to keep up. Given the global nature of your PLN, you have information coming at you 24 hours a day. Not only that, but from several different programs. I have profiles on LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. I save myself time by streemlining all my inboxes to one nifty Social Media Dashboard. A Social Media Dashboard allows you to view all your incoming messages in one place, but also allows you to filter incoming messages and send messages to multiple social networks simultaneously. I personally selected TweetDeck (see the screencast below) for its ease of use, but there are other programs out there. HootSuite is another popular option. Select one that suites your needs and use it.
  • Remember, it’s all about baby steps. All this new information can be overwhelming. It may seem as impossible to conquer as climbing Mt. Everest at this point. DON’T give up! DO pick 5 tools to use consistently through the year.
  • Regardless if you choose to blog with your students as suggested above, reflection is a critical process in learning. Blogging is, in essence, a reflection: your inner thoughts about your experiences (and a great way to demonstrate your own digital literacy skills and expectations to your students).

  • Between my Twitter, online PLN (i.e., The Educator’s PLN) and GoogleReader, I could spend hours absorbed in reading the content on my computer. But in reality, where does reading get me if I don’t have time to reflect and apply, other than twisted in a mayhem of endless links, without any direct focus. Schedule time to read, but don’t feel like you have to read everything or follow every link. The last time I looked, I had 520 unread messages waiting in my GoogleReader. I have a timer by my computer. I set it for 25 minutes. When the timer goes off, I move on to something else. I need to allow time for my brain to absorb everything and reflect.
