"According to Marc-André Lalande,  "a Personal Learning Network is a way of describing the group of people that you connect with to learn their ideas, their questions, their reflections, and their references. Your PLN is not limited to online interactions, but it is that online, global interactive part that really makes it special. It is personal because you choose who's part of that group; you choose if you want to lurk-just check out what people are saying-or if you share; because you choose when to do so, and how to do so." As for this graphic? You can thank Sylvia Duckworth, who always does a great job sharing simple sketch notes to help teachers. (She also took our 12 Rules of Great Teaching and created a predictably wonderful graphic to supplement the text, among others.) We've taken her graphic and provided starting points for each 'reason' a teacher need a PLN."

"Interactive and collaborative - Whiteboards are a great way for teachers to explain concepts to their students. With the ability of some iPad apps to record, you ensure that students who did not develop understanding of the concept the first time have the opportunity to watch and listen again and again. Working in small groups or brainstorming as a class, collaborative whiteboards are a great way to share ideas. Work in the same room, on the same network or even from different parts of the country. No matter what you are working on these interactive whiteboards are a great way to document or record your thinking process. "

"Keynote is one of the best presentation apps out there. We have repeatedly featured it in several of our app lists in the past. Keynote provides users with a bunch of powerful features that makes creating professionally looking presentations 'as easy as touching and tapping'. Some of these features include: users can work collaboratively on a single presentation in realtime; select from a wide variety of Apple-designed themes; add animations, charts, cinematic transitions and several other elements to your presentations; use a wide variety of predefined text styles and interactive features; present your slideshows live from Mac, iPad or any other iOS enabled device and many more. In today's post we are sharing with you two great guides designed and shared by Apple Education. The purpose of the guides is to help teachers make the best of Keynote on both iPad and Mac. The guides are free to download and read on your iBooks. Enjoy"
