In a jigsaw group I created a presentation to show the benefits of social bookmarking, in teaching. I learned that social bookmarking is a wonderful tool that can be used to organize multiple websites and then share them with colleagues online. Using web 2.0 tools like this can help to enhance lesson plans between teachers and is an effective way to share, receive and organize educational material.

I created a Blog page to explore the impact of cyber bullying and its effect on how students can use technology. In my research, I found that new technologies can be used by students to harass their peers. The situation is not taken lightly by School Districts across the nation because of the suicide rates associated with children who are bullied. When using new technologies in classrooms, it is imperative to teach a code of conduct along with the technical aspects of devices to reduce the instances of cyber harassment.
