PLN presentation 2 relfection

Today after presenting my 3 PLN's in front of the class i took some time to think about my presentation. After about a minute of thinking and reading every ones comments they left me, i concluded that I prepared for my presentation well, but to well. This is because i relied on my notes to much, by looking down at my paper repeatedly. All in all it was a good experience.

PLN 16

As usual i was reading through blogs deciding what sounds most interesting. As i went through the Cool Cat Teacher blogger, i came across a blog that i knew instantly would interest me. The tittle said What parents need to know about Xbox Live. The blog was actually quite amusing to me. The blog started off asking parents why are they complaining about students in school posting blogs, when they have no clue once they get home they start playing video games, and their precious little 8 year old annihilates a 40 year old at halo 3 unsupervised. It seems funny but if you think about it xbox live is an open place to extreme profanity, which would be way worse then them posting a harmless blog. I myself do play xbox live and have experienced what a 25 year old can say when there is a 9-11 year old playing with them, and i thought "wow this guy really doesn't care about what this kid is hearing. Should their be a age requirement for xbox live so young children don't have to experience this type of profanity?
