Tool #2

I think that the idea of building a community of online educators in a PLN(personal learning net- work) is an excellent way to connect with other teachers to compare ideas and resources for our students. We have to be proactive in teaching our first graders to interact with their peers in a secure manner and alert them to the pitfalls of the internet.

The point that stood out for me was making meaningful comments in a contructive, respectful and positive manner, not just saying that you liked something but why you like it and how it can be of use in the classroom.
