    This website talked about 5 key resources needed for educators to being and grow their own personal PLNs. http://ning.com offers podcast downloads, discussion forums, videos, relevant blogs, videos and more resources. Powerful Learning Practice is a professional development opportunity that teacher can attend. It offers hands-on applications and the know-how to build and use technology within the classroom. Webinars are conferences people can attend online to join discussions and offer insight to like educators. EdChat is something we can join now on twitter using the hashtag #EdChat every Tuesday. Game based-learning tutorials and talk can be found on http://edweb.net where mentors and people who've successful implemented these practices in their classrooms can offer advice and help.

    This webpage gives educators thinking points on how to join a PLN and why. It describes four things that can help you connect with a PLN and how to contribute as an active member. The second half of this article gives different outlets to join a PLN, such as Twitter and blogging.

    The author provides tips for educators to network and grow their PLNs. He likes to ask educators to consider the following questions:Who is in your learning network? Who do you learn from on a regular basis? Who do you turn to for your own professional development? He provides some great ideas to expand your learning base.
  • Mary Carter on 03 Sep 16
     
    As I begin to develop a PLN, reflecting on these three questions will be helpful. Including suggestions to expanding the network are equally helpful.

    Discusses the importance of students learning through social networks and how teachers can leverage students' experience with social networks to develop the skills necessary to be an independent learner.
  • amandahensley on 07 Jun 16
     
    This is a great article because it addresses the needs for PLNs for students as well as for teachers. I couldn't agree more, especially since our students are growing up in a highly connected world - it only makes sense for them to learn via PLNs of their own.

    Here are some great Twitter Chat's taking place at different times. I am looking forward to hopefully finally taking part in some chats through this class and beyond!

    I love this idea, I have not played around with Twitter chats too much. But I think they are an excellent idea and great ideas to add an element of fun and interaction.
  • anonymous on 02 Jul 15
     
    I've tried Twitter chats before. However, the free flow of ideas and different response rates make it hard to follow and respond to. I think I'd do better in a moderated, specific Twitter chat

    This post explains how educators are becoming more sophisticated in their social media use which is leading to more shared information outside of the traditional conference or classroom.

    This is a fascinating article! I was really inspired by at as I'm finding myself becoming more interested in making sure my social media connections are there to provide professional development (while mixing in some personal). As we become more tech centered, I can see there being value in collaborating online and learning through a variety of avenues, rather than sitting in a common area. I think this article can also be emphasized for student learning as we encourage them to learn and find connections to the content outside of the classroom.

    This was an awesome article about professional use of social media. I think that it is really interesting to talk about how fewer teachers are attending face to face conferences and are instead replacing those with the use of the internet and social media!
  • Jill Miller on 06 Sep 15
     
    Interestingly, I've found that in my field, Twitter has become a way to supplement the conference experience. Those who can't afford to attend are encouraged to follow along with what's happening (live) using session-specific hashtags. I can see librarian conferences eventually going by the wayside, and I'm not certain that I would be upset about that!
  • Kelsey Ramirez on 06 Sep 15
     
    This was an interesting read. I also find that many conferences are hard to attend due to funding. I like how many educational professionals are finding ways to connect using their PLNs through Twitter to participate in edchats. Social media has made the ability to connect with others in your field so much easier and cheaper. It also demonstrates the point how learning and professional development are becoming more self-directed to meet each educator's needs. Thanks for sharing!

    At my district professional development day this August, there was a session title Twitter for Teachers. While my district is not prepared to get rid of traditional PD, they can see the value in PLNs that allow for continuous professional growth. I think this article provides a great explanation of the transition from traditional PD and conferences to a digital world. The author also notes, however, that personalized learning could lead to "one-sided" information. I think that is why it may be important for districts to educate their teachers on PLNs to hopefully start them in the right direction.

I like the practicality of this site - more practice and a centre for PLNs than theory. A site I will use I think which is the whole point.

    This Q&A style article outlines the importance of building a PLN. The source is from a post-secondary outlet but the discussion can be beneficial for educators at any level. I particularly like the focus on using social media to help foster a productive PLN environment; it relates well to the content of 543.

    I also liked the style, you could scroll down the page reading the relevant questions and answers without having to wade through the info you weren't looking for at this time. It allowed for a more connectivistic (if that's a thing) learning approach.
  • miljenni on 10 Jun 18
     
    Thanks for sharing this. It really connected with me especially when it used a map to describe a PLN. It makes complete since to look at it that way. I also liked the way it emphasized creating a PLN online and described ways to create one.

    This is a great How-to article explaining how to form a PLN. I like how it mentions Twitter EdChats. I got into these a year or two ago and they are great!

    If you are like me, where to start looking for PLNs to join leaves you a bit overwhelmed. Many of us already familiar with Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter-- but what about other options? This brief article offers up 5 additional PLN resources, most of which were new to me. It could be a great resource for finding PLNs to join.

    List of PLN's for educators. I did request to sign up for The Educator's PLN. These listed PLN's are a great place to begin building your personalized learning networks.
