This is my last blog. The latest e-mails from the ITFORUM listserve caught my attention. It was the registration for the On Demand FETC Virtual Conference and Expo, which is available until the end of January 2011. I have been listening to a couple of the presentations and am very impressed that these are free. One lecture, near and dear to my heart is "Professional Development in a Web 2.0 World" by Meg Ormiston. I have just presented on Personalized Professional Learning Network (P2LN). This term is my own original twist to the PLN that is currently a buzz word in the tech world. I have been avoiding Twitter as much as possible but she has convinced me why I need to use it for professional development. I knew many people used it but I am sold on using it. I use Twitter for those few gifted specialists who want the latest information and do not want to wait for the FoG (Friends of Gifted) e-newletter to come out. The hardest part is that Twitter is blocked at work now. I will continue to subscribe to this listerve as part of my P2LN. Thank you for requiring this listserve!There has been a lot of information to help me grow and learn as I continue my journey in Instructional Technology!
I also want to thank you for using Camtasia and telling us about this screencasting software. I have purchased it and am using it to provide online classes for gifted specialists across the state. This program was an answer to my prayers in how to put a PowerPoint presentation on Moodle- in sections with my voice discussing those sections.
