Over the course of the quarter, we have been introduced to several
Professional Learning Networks (PLNs). From Blogger to Twitter and RSS feeds to
affinity groups, these are all valuable resources. Prior to this course I was
already familiar with Twitter and Blogger, however I had hardly used them.
Blogger was a great way to keep in contact with classmates. The PLN that really
stood out to me was the Digg, the RSS feed. On my web browser I have a
favorites folder dedicated to teacher written blogs--about 10. One by one I
would read each blog to get a sneak peak of their classroom, lesson plan ideas,
and free downloads. These are great resources, but it was time consuming to go
to each individual blog. With Digg, their most recent posts are all in one
spot! Now instead of going through my folder, I just go to my Digg. These
PLNs are all resources I plan to carry with into my classroom for students as
well as my professional growth.
