In this online conference, the keynote speaker Dean Shareski discusses the ideas of sharing in education. He uses a quote that sharing is our job. He talks about programs like delicious, and says sharing is one of the best tools teachers can use. It’s free for everyone to see. Sharing beyond our classroom is moving to “nice to do” to “necessary to do”. I completely agree with this statement. I understand why some people don’t want to teachers to steal their ideas but if it can help students why wouldn’t you share with other teachers? This class already has taught me so many things about teaching and using resources on the internet. Teachers are going to be continually adding information on the internet and the resources are soon going to be endless. Shareski is not only discussing things to put on the website; he has a math teacher in California discusses sharing tools he uses. He uses a blog, and he receives advice from other teachers through that. I really enjoyed this online conference. Shareski made several valid points about sharing on the internet and how important it is for educators.
