  • Students live and will work in an increasingly highly connected and collaborative world, and we have to understand what this means for learning, working, and living in order to provide a more personal, self-directed and more effective learning environment for the students.

      Reason enough to do it! 
  • Increased exposure to more diverse ideas, learning experiences and techniques. Increased networking which helps educators to know other educators and their practices across the world. It provides educators with opportunities to collaborate on a variety of research, projects, techniques for teaching and more. It allows educators to stay up to date with all the current things happening in educational organizations all over the world. Educators can easily learn about the best practices for teaching globally and share them with others. It keeps their literacy flowing and evolving on the tools of 21st century . Educators can make their students experience high-quality virtual classes (with MOOCs) and blended classes where learning occurs even outside the schools. Through this educators can make masses of people understand the relevance of education that students are receiving presently and how they can make positive amends to it.

      Goal in the CE series?
  • Taking the connections and turning them into lessons that can impact students is really one of the keys to being a connected educator.
    • April Adams
       
      Great way for teachers who are struggling to see the validity of the connectivity.
  • Since educators can reach out and connect with educators from all over the world, they will witness a wonderful change in their teaching that will make a positive impact on their students.
    • April Adams
       
      Could the PLN plan to be make a connection with  1. someone outside of this district teaching your content. 2. someone outside of this state teaching your content. 3. a professional whose research you believe in?
  • The ‘connected educator’ is not just a reader or viewer, but an active participant in ongoing discussions and planning efforts.
