For the remainder of this school year, I will use the items I learned in this course where I can. I feel that to get the full benefit of the "Things," I will need the summer to reflect and come up with some different ideas.
What I think I liked most about the course, was that I learned about things that I can not only use in my classroom, but I can use at home too. Flickr is one that comes to mind.
I believe that the main item I will use professionally, but will need some time to think about how best to use it, is Wikispaces. I believe it could be a powerful tool for students, and I need to find an approach that best works for me.
I will communicate different useful things to my colleagues through departmental meetings. I feel that many of the items in this course could be of great benefit to other teachers.
I want to make sure that in the future, I keep up on Web 2.0 and beyond. There are many exciting things that seem to be coming out to empower teachers everywhere.
I feel that the best way to stay connected is through Bloglines. They are a nice way to keep up on everyones' Blogger posts.

Try to expand your PLN by searching for other blogs, or by reading comments on other blogs-- these sometimes have a link back to the commenter's blog. Also keep delicious in mind... it's a great way to network with others who like the same websites that you do.
The coolcat teacher's wikis are the best I've seen. I'm sure there are others too. Just have an idea of what the final wiki "product" will look like, and work backwards to the beginning.
