      This article is swaying my perception of Twitter. I like the aspect of "expanding my world" of information and resources.

  • Their suggestions included using Twitter as an emergency-response system, to publish school announcements, and to post ideas for enrichment activities after school. Getting fast feedback from people with diverse perspectives appealed to Walker. "It was kind of neat," he says.

  • Sunday, August 1, 2010 5 Ways to Build Your 1.0 and 2.0 Personal Learning Network The digital age has made the development of a Personal Learning Network (PLN) easier than ever before. The PLN is a network created by an individual learner, specific to the learner’s needs extending relevant learning connections to those around the globe who share interests, passions, and talents. PLNs provide individuals with an unprecedented ability to access and connect with leaders and experts around the world bringing together communities, resources and information impossible to access solely from within school walls. Personal learning networks can be comprised of people you know via face-to-face (f2f) and virtual connections. In the best of all worlds they are people you connect with in both ways.

      Some of the most useful things I've ever learned on the internet were simply from lurking. Paintball, Photography, Car Repair - Your question is not new, someone else already asked it, you just have to FIND where they asked it

      This is one of the best descriptions of twitter i've ever come across. It's incredibly hard for me to describe it to "digital immigrants", and I've already forwarded this video to someone who I've tried to explain it to in the past and most likely failed.  But again - flashing and burning forrest here bro.

      I feel like the face to face learning communities will be more useful early on while we're trying to find our places in districts and classes. It's different to speak to another teacher who has different expectations/admin/kids, vs someone who has worked for 10 years in the school you're just starting at. 
    • mary ann st jacques
      mary ann st jacques on 31 May 12
       
      I agree. In establishing yourself, face to face communication is still really important and reveals qualities you have or just your demeanor and personality which may not be revealed otherwise.
    • Daniel Salvas
      Daniel Salvas on 31 May 12
       
      I also agree.  I think we all need to figure out for ourselves to what extent we should use sites like facebook and twitter early on to connect with our school communities.

      I would say we're in the 1.0 stage right now.

      I think once we become comfortable with researching others work, and creating our own lesson plans, guidelines, etc., we will join the 2.0 stage and share ours!  
    • Daniel Salvas
      Daniel Salvas on 31 May 12
       
      but that's ok.  I think during student teaching once we've had time for trial and error with our own ideas, we can move on to 2.0.

      I've got trust issues: how do I know the resources are legit? Doesn't the school give us everything we need? when did this change? What percentage of teachers are actually up to 2.0 at this point?
  • One terrific way to build your personal learning network is to find out if there are other teachers in your school and district doing innovative work with which you connect

      Yes, we read that in "Burned In" and discussed it in class as well. It's important to have a positive circle of peers to confide in especially on those more trying days.

      We read that in "Burned In' and discussed it as well. Surrounding yourself with a positive group of professional peers is key especially on those trying days. This would give you an opportunity to expand your group.

      I know for me personally, I like to see "expert demonstration" or rather, that I learn best by seeing somebody else do it and explaining "why."  Having a peer that can share great ideas would be priceless.
