Does Your PLN Fit?
This is the one area of my life that I am trying to gain in. My PLN or Personal Learning Network is growing daily. The best thing about growing my PLN is that I am also incorporating many of these ideas into my classroom and it is “blooming.” I have incorporated Interactive Science Notebooks after exploring them on several blogs, a wiki, and a Ning. They are going great in the classroom and the more I read about them, the more I tweak them to make them better. I have also set my freshman classes up on Discovery Streaming and have opened a whole new world for them. The ideas have come from blogs and webinars right here at Discovery Education. I am in the process of trying to incorporate 2 new Web 2.0 tools in my classroom before the Christmas holidays and I am learning through my Diigo groups that there are plenty out there to choose from. Next semester I am going to try to use Google docs to share lab information throught my classes. I have spent time looking at YouTube videos on Google docs. For every tool out there, there is a perfect network to help you learn it. With all this at our disposal, our classroom is limitless.
