Growing using what I am Learning

Recently I have increased my use of Social Bookmarking, Diigo, with some of my PLC.  We all have different material and our meetings typically consist of data sharing and pacing.  This Friday we will be showing others how to better use Diigo and become more connected.  I hope this will further my knowledge of the content area I teach.  I have mostly read different blogs to get answers to some of the questions I have about technology.  Also I have been introduced to various technology applications that I had not heard of before.  I hope to be knowledgeable enough with some of the applications to help my colleagues in integrating some of the technology that I have learned about through blogs of what others are doing.  I have also joined a couple Ning groups which have also opened my eyes to what other expert teachers are doing in their classrooms. As a first year teacher it is almost like having various mentors.  I have been in contact with two individuals that I have been able bounce ideas off of.  I really feel as though I have grown as teacher in the past month because of making relationships with other teachers.
