Personalized PLN as PD

Update: The article mentioned in the last link of this article is an example of being connected via an online PLN.  https://www.edsurge.com/n/2014-04-09-charting-the-pd-waters-with-badges came about via a PLN connection. I admired Laura Fleming's work, and because I followed her on Twitter, was able to connect her with Edsurge.

I was asked to share why I like being part of district PLNs so when I went away last weekend, I used my time at the airport to film myself talking about why I love having an online PLN - a global learning network of educators that I can learn from via social media like Twitter and Yammer, and how it is good to have district connections within that PLN.

Upshot:  You willl get  new views, great ideas, and a lot of inspiration and practical tips from connecting to others on social media.

I love the idea of a PLN as personalized professional development. Along with  badging I hope it is the wave of the PD future.  I can help you discover the ones that suit you or help you navigate the ones that are not intuitive.
