I signed up for TeacherPop and my membership is "pending approval". Wonder how long that will take? In the meantime, that means I can't meet some of the other requirements for this exercise. How frustrating!
I'm not currently a member of any other online communities. Currently, I prefer to be a lurker. I'm sure that when I begin working and finding resources that I will be using in my work as a teacher, I will find communities that will be useful, and that I will want to join. I do see the usefulness of these online communities. Right now, however, none of these social networks are appealing to me to join and participate in. I am too busy studying for my classes and completing projects to actively participate in any of them. I also spend so much time on a computer right now that I do not want to spend any precious free time chit-chatting with anyone about anything online.
I thought Dr. Wall's link to Educational Videos on TeacherPop was a good one. I'll remember that one for the future. Since I'm not really keen on using Facebook in the classroom, A Teacher's Guide to Using Facebook piqued my interest. I plan to look at it later. My mind could be changed. I also saw many educational videos on TeacherPop that I could use later. I also thought that the Classroom 2.0 Ning had some groups that could be helpful. In particular, the Classroom 2.0 Beginner Group would be helpful.
Yeah! My TeacherPop membership was approved. Here's my badge:
