For Thing 19, I discovered some other social networks other than facebook and twitter. One of the social networks I discoved and signed up for was teacherpop. Teacherpop by ning was actually started at APSU, and I think it is great. It is basically just like facebook except for teachers. I found ton of my classmates as soon as I created my account, which I think is great because it is a great way to make friends and connections with people who may be your future colleagues. I uploaded a photo on to teacherpop, invited many friends that I knew from class and below is the badge to my website :)
Other than Facebook, Twitter, and now Teacherpop, other online communities I am part of is pinterest and stumbleupon. I am actually a little addicted to pinterest. Pinterest is a virtual pinboard that lets you share all the interesting things you find on the web and organize them into categories. I actually have a future teacher category where I have found so many ideas from other people of lesson plans and create classroom organization ideas. The website is alot of fun and you find so many interesting new things on it everyday. Stumbleupon is also a lot like pinterest, it is basically a website that directing links you to websites that you are interested in. So if you are interested in say "travel", it pulls up many travel destinations and websites to place you may want to visit. Both of these websites are great for communicating and sharing ideas, and I learn many new things that will help me as a teacher on them everyday.
