Teacher Development Research Review: Keys to Educator Success - 0 views

  •  
    This article discusses the benefits of professional development and the correlation with student achievement.
  •  
    This article at first glance focuses on the keys to success as an educator. Within this article though, there is a section explaining the importance of PLNs. One main point of the article states that PLNs (and PLCs) offer teachers an opportunity to have ongoing community that impacts a teacher's practice more than a traditional pro-d session.

"Introduction to communities of practice,"(Wenger-Trayner, 2015) - YouTube - 1 views

  •  
    this simple video shows a good visual breakdown of what CoP are and how they work in different scenarios, specifically in education.
  •  
    This video does a nice job of quickly explaining what a COP is then she takes the time to discuss how school classrooms can be COP but also why they may not be considered a COP. She discusses how a teacher can make his/her classroom a COP if done correctly and the students are invested.

    Did a search on Twitter and these examples came up from our professor. They are prior student examples. I thought I would include them, but they don't have to be counted as one of my ten. I love the music example.

Professional Learning Networks Designed for Teacher Learning - 1 views

  •  
    This paper not only defines a PLN and the value that can be brought to teachers through participation, but it also reviews three popular PLNs: Classroom 2.0, Edmodo, and The Educator's PLN. Lastly, it discusses design aspects that facilitate communication, sharing, and learning.
  •  
    I like this article because it gives teachers like myself, a practical application of PLNs. I've heard of Edmodo and looked into using it, but not the other two (Classroom 2.0 and The Educator's PLN) resources that are discussed in the article. However, as I was researching PLNs I did come across the PLN website. I'm sure I could have found some useful information on it, but I was looking for articles that explain the theories. This is a website I need to look into further. Thank you for adding this as a resource. #EDTechSN

Professional and Personal Learning Networks - NCTE - 1 views

  •  
    This website cleared up a few things about PLNs for me. It discusses how in vogue calling every meeting under the sun a "Professional Learning Community" can be for administrators, but it may just not be so. Also defined are Professional Learning Environments, "a PLE is a system that allows learners to create and manage their own online learning." This site is challenging those involved in education to build those close relationships and form true, genuine (not mandated) PLNs in order to better their practice.
  •  
    Here is another blog that explains PLNs quite nicely. What I noticed about this one is that they actually discussed how it is based in the connectivism theory and got its roots from it.
  •  
    I like how this article brings up that PLNs can be a form of professional development. In my time as a teacher, "professional development" has always meant meetings at school with special speakers or district leaders or other teachers giving a formal presentation. However, after reading this and other articles, I am realizing that there are so many ways I can work on my professional development outside of these formal settings.

    I bookmarked this as an extra site. It is the current site for Etienne Wenger, now Etienne Wenger-Trayner, along with his wife and fellow researcher, Beverly Wenger-Trayner. There are many good articles about Communities of Practice.

    While this article is targeted to librarians, the concepts are relevant to all educators, as well as to students. Author Nicole Cooke argues that in developing Personal Learning Networks and/or participating in communities of practice, librarians can engage in continued and essential learning beyond the terminal degree.

EDTECH at Boise State University - 2 views

  •  
    Upon doing my research for CoP I stumbled across this site that stresses the right way to effectively use technology for online communities of practice. It emphasizes that many CoP's can lose their purpose by metamorphosing into something entirely different than what was originally intended.
