TEST YOUR PLN TASK

Learning Target: After spending the semester creating a PLN and learning how to find quality teacher resources, online tools, and student uses of 21st century or Web 2.0 tools, you will test your PLN by making a list of websites that would help with student's showing their learning, to teach, or to equip a teacher for teaching.  THIS is homework...  You need 13 of the 25 questions answered by December 3rd, and the others by December 8th. Handout distributed and emailed.  Submit as a google drive link via your blog.
