A big thank you from Week 8!

Hi everyone,

Thanks very much for your feedback during our Week 8 presentation. We were very impressed with everyone’s PLEs and added resources (we have stolen/borrowed many of them). There was a lot of insightful input and discussions, which greatly enhanced the experience both for ourselves and hopefully for you, our colleagues.

Symbaloo (it’s also an App on the iPad or for Android devices http://blog.symbaloo.com/tag/android/) seems to be the runaway hit of Week 8, with many of you eagerly creating a new home base for your links, while creating a dynamic PLE at the same time!

Many of you expressed concerns about anxiety surrounding the use of new tools in classroom environments. Our suggestion: be willing to say “I don’t know” and join in the learning experience with your students – you will both gain from it and learn along the way!

Again, we would like to thank you for your contributions to our OER throughout the week, you helped to turn a blog into a learning tool and we hope that you will share the ideas within it with your colleagues and students in the future.

Sincerely,
Chris, Danielle, Dave, Gillian, Janet, & Meggan
