Thing 3: Personal Learning Networks

Well, I'm going to see if I can complete this Cool Tools professional development before the deadline!  I started out great, but things fell apart for me in August.  I started this and I want to finish it!  I loved iGoogle because I could add RSS feeds to librarian gurus' blogs, it was one stop shopping.  I was upset when I heard that it was going to be phased out. I forgot where I heard about feedly, but I have migrated everything to it and I’m really liking it.   It makes it easy to quickly scan for professional articles and great ideas.
 Following the Daring Librarian give me the idea to create my own QR Quest for this year's seventh grade library orientation and I’ll discuss that in my next post.
I also follow a number of library and/or technology related pages on facebook.  I've read some great articles, that lead to other great articles or other pages to follow.  Since I usually check facebook daily, I can quickly scan my newsfeed for words of wisdom  and much more. I also follow a number of authors, library gurus, and tech gurus on twitter.  Another quick way to say current. Why I’m waiting for an appointment, I can quickly check my feeds in a matter of minutes.
