We (participants at TIES session on Sunday) have spent the past 2 1/2 hours exploring elements of a personal learning network. I ask that you take a moment to reflect on this session by posting a comment to this blog post. I am interested in what you think regarding any topic brought up during our time together today. I am also interested in which tools and/or services you think you will find most useful. What went well and what didn't go so well.
Thanks,
Carl

I am interested in exploring the Web 2.0 concept further and how it might apply to my teaching and learning. I will be using Google Reader,Delicious, Blogger and Wikispaces. Thanks for your presentation.
I learned about what it takes to start using RSS feeds and more. I will expand my igoogle/igoogle reader account as soon as I can find the time.
Thank you, Carl, for your presentation. You have given me several tools to think about using in setting up a personal learning network. I am pursuing something that will be useful in our staff development PLCs. I like the idea of a personal learning network and will take some time to think about what I have learned and how to integrate it into our staff development.
For my digital learning network, I use abwatt.ning.com, delicious (user ABWatt), and abwatt.wikispaces,com. I also use Google Reader, although I don't like it as much as actually visiting a website, for some reason.
I also run a podcast on ancient Greece (and eventually Rome and other regions before 500AD), called the Ancient History Podcast, which is available through iTunes and by following (the admittedly difficult-to-find) links at http://www.gravitysgrace.net/
I also keep my blog at http://anselm23.livejournal.com/
Do other schools have Conflict of Interest policies, and are teachers asked to sign them? I'm getting one from my school this week, and I'm not sure what to expect.
@Andrew B. Watt
I am not quite sure what you mean by a conflict of interest form unless you work for a private or charter school. I work part-time for an online charter school and I did have to sign a conflict of interest form there. The form only states that I cannot work for another online education provider for the duration of my employment with that school or for two years after my departure.
