The Final Thoughts...Sad that all things come to an end!

So my PLN ended up being pretty organized. This was surprising to me, as I usually am organized  chaos. 
I first started with jotting things down on a piece of scratch paper, with circles, balloons, arrows going in all directions, even to outer space. 
After our critical friends discussions and the ideas and feedback that were given, made me think a little more about the goal of my PLN and the other teachers involved. 
The critical friends session was the most valuable to me. After that meeting, the mind map was easy as 3.14 and really fast compared to my initial brain storm attempts.


Now my thoughts on the Total Package. I really enjoyed LTEC 642, just as i have enjoyed other classes from Dr. Bert. In the beginning,  the Twitter, Periscope and Line assignments were a little overwhelming to me, as I never had to speed post, or tag others in one of my social media posts, other than tagging friends...making the deadlines was challenging for us as a whole class group. In the beginning, the additional waves of conversations via Line were a little irritating, but once I figured out how to turn the sound and vibration notifications off, it became a little easier to deal with, and once the "new" wore off, and not every one in our class was blasting message on it any more, Line became my preferred way of staying in touch with project group members for both the Case Studies and the Collaborative Video Project. 
Another, mildly frustrating endeavor was the CVP, the time differences between Hawaii, Samoa, Germany and Japan, seemed a little challenging for us to be able to have meaningful meetings, and to be able to collaborate effectively. However, in the end it all ended well. 

If I could take more classes from Dr. Bert, I would, although I have already reached my needed number of electives for my Master's. Maybe I could ask him if I could just audit his classes, just for fun!
