The purpose of my PLN

I would like my PLN to include places I can go for advice, materials, strategies and to learn.  I am very much of the mind that technology needs to have a clear purpose if I am to utilize it in/for my teaching.

How I plan to use my PLN

I would like to use my PLN on at least a weekly basis to further my learning and understanding of teaching, education and the issues that surround them.  I would like it to become one of my go-to resources when I am stuck.

The platforms I have chosen to start building my PLN

Twitter – this is a new experience for me and I am adjusting to it.

Instagram – I have used this medium to showcase hobbies and art, but not for education.  I created a new account specifically for educational PLN

FaceBook – I am most comfortable with this medium as I have been using it the longest.
