Participating in the conversations in my Using Social Media in Online Learning Course have started a transformation in me. After my experience with Georgia Teaching Fellows last year I felt defeated and began to dought my calling to teach. The interactions with my teacher and classmates have re-kindled a passion in me. I was unaware that the sense of community in an online course could be equal to that of a traditional class. Using Google Docs to collaborate on document creation has saved time and built partnerships. It is a valuable tool to create classrooms across time and distance, making the world just a little bit smaller. Collaboration shrinks the planet and frees up time!
