PLN Reflection

http://jenn6462.edu.glogster.com/pln/

Before this class, I really didn't know what a PLN was, or how much I needed one to be a more successful teacher.  We try to share with our colleagues as much as possible, but often that's just not enough.  Everyone has families, commitments, their own crazy schedule, etc.  It's hard to find that vital time to share resources and ideas.  With an online PLN we can have that support and collaboration that we need, at any time that is convenient for us.  We can use resources like Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, Blogger and more to keep in touch, share lesson plans, resources, apps, and so much more.  I feel like I have learned more about enhancing my teaching since I have established my PLN.  I have always been obsessed with Pinterest, so I have to say my new favorite tool is Twitter.  Of course I could not use it to its full potential without Hootsuite to organize my posts.  I look forward to continuing to use the valuable tools that we have learned about.
