Final Report on PLN
I had a great time focusing on my PLN throughout the semester. I used Symbaloo for the first half of the semester but the second half I really focused on expanding my PLN, in person. I have met a few teachers in the graduate program at South, as well as people in my neighborhood that educate others. Many of them have helped me in projects and in other classes. Teachers are certainly different people, compared to the majority that I come in contact with. These people have a love for teaching and helping others and I think my PLN has expanded drastically because of one or two people that I got to know. Of course, these people cannot be on my Symbaloo, but they are in my cell phone to contact whenever I need help. I am surprised to see how many teachers and former teachers that live very close to me. Overall, I have enjoyed this process and I will continue to meet new people and learn.

Metaphors
![Metaphor for]()
1. I missed the metaphor because I am usually in "serious" mode when I come to class online. When I read something in that time frame, I take it for what it says. Yes, I should lighten up when I come to EDM310. I do not like to give excuses and I feel like I am giving one here. I will better understand the use of metaphors in the future. This will not happen again.
2. Holy crap!
I'm a little hazy on that one!
She stormed in.
This class is cake!
Why you tryin' to bait me?
Pull the plug on this one, that's all she wrote.
Stick a fork in 'im, he's done!
3. Well, I think metaphors helped me understand the material. So, hopefully the children can understand metaphors better which can help them relate to a specific story. Many teachers that I have had use metaphors. I think they are a great add on to material to make it more memorable. Like I said, metaphors were great for me because that is how I have memorized and related things together.
4. Once again, I think we use metaphors for memorization. I really think it helps with long term memory. If I have a metaphor that relates to a story, I am a lot more likely to remember the story, verbatim. It is also a fun factor in which the teacher can make a metaphorical joke that relates directly to the topic.
