PLN

Using Social Media, specifically Twitter to develop your own personal Professional Learning Network.

Social media is becoming more than a place to find a funny meme or keeping in touch with old friends. Professionals are utilizing social media to grow their Professional Learning Network (PLN).

Through Twitter, I have grown my PLN. I have been inspired from classroom instruction and assessments, as well as found free resources to use in my classroom and help others. After facilitating a Service Learning Summit, I even hosted my own chat to prolong conversation.

Through a PLN you can also find opportunities to collaborate with like minded professionals all over the world.

Below are some links to some valuable resources I utilize in my classroom:
