TappedIn was something that was new to me. Tapping in to TappedIn.org is like exploring a world made just for teachers. It is a great resource for teachers to communicate with each other on many different levels and it is also a good resource for teachers to share with thier students. The tricks and tips session was informational in providing me with the know how on how to use the tapped in website. The moderator Bjb was extremely helpful in providing info on how to use the site. She was nice and pleasant with all of the questions that were being asked of her. I especially liked the student campus because it is a great way for me to connect with my students after school hours. I was thinking that I could use that option to meet online with my students at a certain time in order to answer questions that they may have about thier homework or anything that has been going on in class. I like the fact that I could set class hours so that my students would be able to chat with me during those times. I especially liked the fact that I could read thier chat logs. It would be kind of cool to see what everyone is talking about after class. Overall, I thought that the session was informational and it provided me with instructions on how to use the website with ease.
Glad this was a good experience for you. Good ideas and comments. I like that you are thinking of ways this tool could be used with your students!
