The internet is constantly growing with new information day in and day out. The information is generated so rapidly that it's impossible to keep up with it all. As an educator I want to stay up to date to the new tools and trends in order to ensure I can effectively deliver information to them in a timely manner. In order to do this without information overload I must generate a game plan.
Game Plan:
1. Use twitter to follow new programs and applications: Doing this will help me keep up with new items or trends without researching very hard. I'll automatically get notified when something new arises and I can quickly take a look at it and determine if it's something I'm interested in using in my classroom.
2. Attend Conferences: This will give me hundreds of new ideas and techniques that I may use in my classroom all in one setting. Not only will they present new items but, they will also teach me how to use these items.
3. Ask my campus IT for help: With consulting with my campus IT I can find new ways and old ways of how to implement tools in the classroom. She will always be the first to know what will work for certain lessons I want to give.
As an educator I feel that I have enough to keep up with as is. And with the game plan that I generated i think keeping up with web 2.0 updates will be effortless!
