My PLN
Welcome to my Personal Learning Network (PLN) Well....
its not really a PLN yet! This Fall I had the opportunity to attend
the Indiana Computers Educators (ICE) Conference in Indianapolis and
was inspired by several speakers to create a place on the web to connect
and communicate socially with others. I quickly realized that I needed a
PLN to enhance my bank of Professional Development Resources for our
Duneland School Corporation Staff. First, I created a Twitter Account
and started following the interesting presenters at the conference.
Twitter was a great place to start my PLN journey but not enough to
satisfy my thirst for collecting and sharing information with my peers.
Next I started posting all the interesting PLN websites on my Twitter
Account and Google Site. Now I'm ready to create my PLN! I invite you
to look at the resources I collected and hope you will contact me if you
would like to start a PLN of your own. Enjoy!
