EDWARD'S 👨‍💻🖨️ CCTI PROJECT

GROUP WORK AND WIKIS In my previous article I shared how much I had learnt about bookmarking and curating clearly describing the whole process of curating as I have understood it. The processing of curating being a very key element in building my Professional Learning Network, makes me more confident now that I am moving towards my professional goals.  Working as a network is the essence of this whole Professional Learning Network thing. Today I have improved on this greatly. Having colleagues contribute and give their views on your contributions is indeed exciting. I no longer feel lost as an individual seeking Professional Development. I am now in position to use wikis to make contributions and changes to content about specific areas of interest.  We should have more colleagues contributing to the course wiki My colleagues have been very resourceful in helping me out. First of all, their appreciation of my contribution to the whole discussion gives me fulfillment and confid

My insight on content curation It has always been my passion to contribute something to someone out there who is looking for knowledge. This is the passion that drove me to eventually become a teacher.

I truly feel a smarter worker. This is because I have learnt that social media can actually be used by teachers and educators to help them guide the learning process and also to help them get more knowledge about their work from a large number of like minded educators out there. I have been using some social media tools like Facebook, Twitter, etc. but never did I think that they were that useful to me as an educator. I now see the benefit. I also see that you can use #hashtags, make direct messages, re-tweet etc using twitter. Google plus is having, according to me, quite a number of features which I still need to burrow into and probably see how to work out but it won't take long before I have mastered it. The  interface in the  video tutorial  looks very different from the one on my browser but I can still pick up some useful ideas. Facebook is something I have spent some time on but after reading about it through one of the links , I see there is still some bit to learn. Co
