Because my name is unique, my vanity search still shows my information. I see some new information, such as my Twitter account, but basically it is still the same information. I do see a slight expansion of my information, but since I used the same blog as a previous class, I still see 95% of the same information. I appreciate that my vanity search includes my information only, and not someone else's. I find this to be a lucky break of a unique name.
I have learned about a great number of web 2.0 tools that will be valuable to my future endeavors. I still struggle with the value added from Twitter, but have really enjoyed learning about Protopage. Protopage has given me the ability to organize a large number of web links into one visual page. I feel this is the most valuable web 2.0 tool that I discovered.
There are many other tools I enjoyed learning about this semester that will contribute to my classroom. These include NearPod and ShowMe. These tools allow my students to create activities from their learning and me to share learning with them in a controlled environment. In general I am glad I have explored these tools and feel they will serve me and my students a great deal.
