This is my first go with an RSS or PLN. I have a hard time finding sites that are relevant or focused.
Q: Articles interest me more than blogs or chats. Is there a way to discern or predetermine the difference in browsing?
A: From what I can tell, the discernment comes in after the search. As I scan through the search results, I view the URL to determine if the item is a blog
My primary interest is in how technology is applied in the classroom by creative teachers. There are several services that provide a mode via which teachers can set up quick quizzes or surveys. Students “play” these educational games with immediate feedback. Depending on the program, the results can be public (kahoot.it) or feedback can be private, allowing only students and their parents Class Dojo). Class Dojo also uses a platform via which teachers and parents can communicate, centralizing assessment and communication.
Chats were flooded with the confessions of teachers forgetting something, or showing up late for appointments because they didn’t have an appropriate system through which to be reminded. The resounding theme was over- commitment. The topic of the chat was “what are your favorite tools for organizing?
Q: Over-committed and struggling with time management, yet spending the time to chat with comrades (who are essentially strangers) on the internet. How do they manage the time to chat?
While this is not my personal approach, perhaps this is their method of socializing and decompressing. The bonus is the problem solving along the way.
