Tool 4

That was not so bad. I look forward to keeping up with the lateset!
There are many applications for using the Google Docs. I think it will help us to keep up with needs in our Literacy Library by having a Literacy Library Book Wish List.
I subscrided to http://www.ascd.org/.

Tool 3

I barely touched the tip of the ice berg on this one and still spent several hours on it. I will definitely come back to these. There are a lot of possibilities here. It took some time figuring how to move these to the blog. I spent a lot of time making things that I could not save and saving stuff and moving things to the blog that were too big or that would not work.

Tool 2

Communication is key to building and maintaining any endeavor. The PLN is a wonderful tool for faciliataing the sharing of thoughts and ideas. I can see this as a powerful tool in helping staff and students taking learning to the next level.
I love the idea of being humble, especially since I used the wrong name on a post.
I visted 5 TWE blogs: Coyne's Cool Kids, A whole new World, Mrs. Hoover's First Grade, Holly's Thoughts, and 11 Tools.

Tool 1: Reflection

WOW! This would be great for a book study. I love making the Avatar.
