I took Dr. McGarvey's recommendation and I joined Classroom 2.0!
I decided to join it so I can stay on top of educational technology trends and innovative ways to use computers in the classroom. I teach in a hybrid format, meeting face-to-face with students every day. I use an educational wiki to teach my graphic design class here: ropgraphicdesign.pbworks.com. I have used the wiki format for a years now, I learned the format at my first faculty position at the Clovis Online School. I hope to share my strategies for releasing content for students also as I feel giving can be better than receiving.
Here is a link to my Classroom 2.0 Page:

In my Digg reader, I signed up to Edudemic and Graphic Design Education for now. Edudemic's motto is connecting education and technology. This right up my alley! I learned 6 ways why teachers should try mobile devices in the classroom. I have always been a fan of this.In my classroom we have Mac Desktops, but I still allow students to use smartphones if they prefer for certain assignments. I have rediscovered blog readers in GED 512 and I hope to continue benefiting from them.
Question 1: What are the benefits of using Blog Readers?
The number one benefit for me is the convenience. Blog readers send you links to blog posts as they happen so you are not wasting precious time searching for content.
Question 2: How can using Nings influence teaching?
Since there are multiple users on Nings, there is a wealth of knowledge and experience just waiting to be shared. I have an open mind to different ways to pass on knowledge actively and the various users can aid my professional learning.
