Because A PLN Is a Gift…

Because A PLN Is a Gift… | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it
From venspired.com - December 30, 2012 4:58 PM


Yes, I talk about Twitter all the time.  I rave about the people I’ve met. I am addicted to edcamps.  I stalk the blogs of people who inspire me.  I read, save, download, bookmark, and retweet what makes me a better educator.  What is it all about? The people who are a part of my PLN, or personal learning network.  I often say the “P” in PLN stands for “Positive.”  One tweet can change your entire perspective, push your thinking, solidify your thoughts, or make you question something you didn’t even realize you needed to question.  For that? I am incredibly grateful.  The PLN is a gift that keeps on giving. It encourages you to give back just as much. It inspires you to do more, be more, and to never stop learning. So, to every person in the world who has become part of mine, I just wish to say “Thank you!”

4 Twitter Tools Every Teacher should Know about

4 Twitter Tools Every Teacher should Know about | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - April 26, 2013 9:46 AM

Twitter is a powerful educational social networking website that has a huge potential for  teachers professional development.

 

Twitter is also ideal as a  PLN  where you get to connect with other educators from all around the globe and exchange teaching and learning materials with them. Building a PLN, however, requires making acquaintances with similar like-minded teachers and also developing your list of followers; but once you have such a solid PLN problems of maintaining it and staying updated with what others tweet become a tricky challenge.

 

I have curated for you some powerful tools to help you benefit the maximum from  the PLN you create on Twitter. Check them out below.

It all builds into what has become my most trusted source for professional development and generating ideas.

This article makes a lot of valid points that can be used in every day on twitter, and in life in general! First impressions are as important on Twitter, and I think that is something many young professionals may overlook in interview and online. Also, I think many people follow their friends on Twitter, even if they are unrelated to their professional career, which can crowd their feed with social related things, rather than tweets related to education. This article also shows that it is possible to use your tweets outside of the Twitter realm, just by presenting your tweets on other social media sites! This seems to be a great checklist for the young professional, helping us utilize a site we most likely already frequent, but enabling us to turn it into a career-helping venue.

Maria Hoard's curator insight, June 5, 2022 4:23 PM
The 3 C's of a PLN- Consumer, Contribute, and Collaborate.  Use, give, and work together.  With a balance between these three things, the professional user will be able to build and participate in a network for education.

I would be interested in reading this entire masters thesis about the power of Twitter.  The social media platform affords for a sense of anonymity and collaborative effort that is deeply personal.  A PLN is a network of want and desire to improve pedagogy- not a required (and sometimes useless) PD or forced PLC.  With Twitter, learning and sharing becomes accessible and instantaneous.
