Don't be Scared!

I just made a new Voki. See it here:

Hello!
Having some Halloween fun and exploring with a wonderful Wed 2.0 tool called Voki.  Voki is an interactive software that allows for creativity and expression of individuality with the choosing of an avatar.  The user can then accessorize the avatar and input or record dialogue. The avatar can then relay any appropriate message to the viewer.  What a great way to engage learners.    So  in the spirit of Halloween check it out!  Don't be scared.

A little "bit" (strip) about me!

 I wanted to tell you about how my journey towards fulfilling my dreams of becoming a teacher began.  Bitstrips is a fun and creative way to allow me to do that!..... I have been a nurse for the past sixteen years and felt like I needed a change in pace.  With my husband's support, I enrolled into university and the journey has begun.  No regrets and working hard to achieve my goals.
To Be Continued.......
I encourage you to try Bit Strips yourself for a fun and engaging way to share your ideas and stories with others.

My twitter adventure.

Hello again!
 It certainly has been a while since I have been able to get back to my blogging.  Glad to be back and excited to share with you that today I jumped both feet into the world of twitter.  Before my exploratory adventure,  I was a facebook fanatic so in the interest of exploring I decided to take a browse at twitter.  I have to say it's not bad.  Found some great resources to follow to keep up to date and liked the fact that you can easily access news and events happening in and around the area in which you live.
As an aspiring teacher, twitter would be useful in the classroom as a social media tool that can be used to quickly access and follow news events and news stories as they develop.   Students would also be able to follow each others tweets in an attempt to stay connected.  I discovered some great educational sites to follow.  All in all a very positive experience discovering twitter.

Recently I have read an interesting post about a classmates twitter discovery.  It is often good to look at others perspectives and take on social media tools.

I have included in this post a link to the Ultimate Twitter Guide. This link provides you with resources for learning and exploring Twitter.  Happy Exploring!
