Week 3 Thing 7

PLNs seem to be a great opportunity to share ideas with other educators. Many of the blogs seemed to be very political. There seem to be factions that are growing in support of more technology and at the same time for the status quo. Also, there seems to be those who are concerned that because the use of these tools is accompanied by 8-page responsible use documents, students will not only not get their full benefit, but also will want to stay away from these tools because of their potential for causing them trouble. It seems that as much as information is a good thing, not every blog can be considered valuable. The sifting of the wheat from the chaff may keep many from attempting to join in the fray.
