Personal Learning Network

A little about PLN, it stands for Personal Learning Network. What it means is that an individual has developed their own personalized “network” of fellow educators and resources. Twitter is an excellent for educators to use to chat to other educators all over the world for ideas for classroom, and students work and how to be a better teacher. You can log in to twitter at any time you want to chat and share ideas. You do not have to go in person anywhere it’s all on one app on your phone. PLN allows an educator to personalize their training. If a teacher wants to learn more about technology in the classroom, or discussion methods, or how to help struggling students, they can adapt their network to provide exactly the information that is needed. Any social media ] such as Twitter, Facebook, and teacher blogs, teachers can right away post their articles, research, experiences, or discoveries because there is always someone online at all times to chat and share. I hardly used twitter and from this class I learned a lot how it could help me as a future educator when I start teaching in a classroom. I started following 15 educational pages. After following every day I got more and more educational pages asking to follow me for more info to help me as a future educator. I joined a chat on twitter called #kinderchat I was nervous because I am not a teacher yet but right away I introduced myself and said I was a future educator and that this is my first time joining a chat. Many people which were all teachers right away helped me and answered my questions well and told me if I ever need help to let them know. During the chat I saw posts about how to do portfolios for parents and pictures of art work of the teachers classroom asking what else they can add to lesson plans. What I noticed everything went to fast people comment fast and so many questions all I once. I will definitely use twitter in the future when I became a teacher it is a great PLN that everyone should join and check out for themselves for educational purposes.
