This week we learned about PLN's! PLN stands for Personal Learning Network and it is a place you can go to connect with others about educationally related discussions, articles, or opinions. Some of the PLN's I checked out are listed below and if you click on them they'll take you directly to it! You have to sign up with some PLN's and then the administrator will either approve or deny your request. In some of the PLN's I checked out it would show pictures of the other members and in each PLN they provide you with different articles, interest groups, or discussion boards. They provide educators with the opportunity to connect across the world with other educators, which is pretty awesome.
These three PLN's were all different and had their pluses and minuses to each. However, I will say The Edublogger had some awesome articles, Goodreads is a wonderful resource if you love reading, and Classroom 2.0 has some awesome interest groups and discussion boards!
This week we also learned more about using Twitter to connect with other educators. My username is hmduethman if you want to follow me! Twitter is a wonderful resource for educators to connect with other educators across the world. You can follow some educators and check out specific discussion boards. For instance, I typed in #edtech into the search box and it took me to a discussion that was surrounded around education and technology. Anyone that hashtagged edutech their tweet, article, or video was taken to the #edutech board. The video below lays out the purpose of Twitter in case you're interested in checking it out!
