TappedIn

My TappedIn experience was interesting and informative. I went onto the “tips and tricks” discussion with Jeff C. My cyber visit was interesting, the first group I joined up with, and besides the instructor I was the only one who showed up. I waited around for the second tour. Fortunately another woman joined us and we went to various rooms. I went especially to the K-3 resource room where there were many resources available to elementary educators. Then the instructor brought us to his daughter’s school to show us what he has done collaborating with her teacher. On the link there was a picture of the Hubble space telescope of the stars. Directly underneath, there were safe links for second graders to link onto and explore further. He explained that his daughter and a friend did a PowerPoint presentation on Neptune and you could link onto it so the students could view it whenever they wanted. I truly found my experience to be interesting and informative. I have never been involved in any type of “chat” rooms; however, I see the benefits when it meets your needs. It is definitely a great resource for teachers and I plan on using it!
