Social Networking Technology

The two networks I chose to use for this assignment are www.edutopia.com because of its ability to use the resources for understanding the common core state standards and http://sigve.iste.wikispaces.net/ which allows practitioners to adhere to the use of transforming the former 20th century education with the aid of advanced educational technology practices and programmed applications. As a practitioner, I plan to analyze how the two networks are used to bring evolutionary teaching to a rapidly changing classroom in the 21st century in order to gain distinct and concrete usage for educating students in today’s digital classroom.  The implementation of critical thinking, when it reveals the rationalization of the benefits of using Internet based technologically savvy tools, are found in Edutopia and SIGVE.

The benefits of using both Internet social networks for educating will have logical implications and justifications for the 21st century educators who are teaching with technology.  This in turn will allow students to be able to have valuable learning instruments as they embark on the evolution of high technological society in the classroom. This has been evident with the converting of campuses into 1:1 iPad classrooms and the embracing of social networking for the implementation of digital literacy in classroom

Social networks can help educators and all who embrace technology infused learning. I will benefit with the use of these tools by collaborating with other educators and exchanging ideas and concepts. With the use of www.edutopia.com, practitioners can not only find information for digital literacy in the classroom, but they are exposed to awesome displays of educational information which can insight useful and creative ways for the student and teacher to be successful in the classroom. 
Another social network that utilizes the learning with the use of a digital classroom is www.edmodo.com, This site is endorse by SIGVE, which is a special interest group for virtual environments in the classroom. SIGVE allows educators a chance to show what they know on a large online media platform for English, language arts and general speaking. I will use both social network sites to create enhancements for digital instructional usage in my weekly lessons for the 21st century student and my lifelong professional development practice. The use of incorporating such social networking sites in my classroom curricula will tremendously enhance the teaching of technology for my students to be able to understand how the learning process can be educational and fun.
