Resource overview

  The four resources shown in our folder are:

• Oxford English Dictionary -Birthday Word
• PLN and Twitter Resource Wiki
• Wordpress
• Edublogs

These are all method for the sharing  of information. Information takes place in different formats and each of these allows a different format. The first, Oxford English Dictionary, is one where a person could go to find information on the meaning, pronunciation, origin, and examples of how to use a word in the English language. The PLN and Twitter wiki, is a place where someone new to PLN's or Twitter can go for a lesson of how to use each platform. The PLN is a place where someone could keep large amounts of networking in one easy to use and easy to navigate site. Twitter is social networking at its best, I think it is best because it limits you to the amount of unnecessary banter that can sometimes become part of the social world. Wordpress is a hosting website, that will allow you to create a site or a blog for presentation of different types information delivery. You can find any topic that a person has decided to use as a platform. Last, is Edublogs, I am least familiar with this but from exploring it seems to be a blog site that is based on education to allow for easy access to other education subjects. Keeping things in a close topic allows for easy navigation and discovery.

     I think that there is one large connection between these links, information. They all are delivery systems with one common theme. Using these resources will allow me to explore in any easy way the inquiry learning that I am hoping to master soon. The use of inquiry based learning is one that I see a value in but I need to become more versed in the creation of lessons for it.
