Blog Post #5.B

As I explained previously, before EDM310 I did not know what a Personal Learning Network was and most importantly, I was unaware of the benefits of having a PLN. Unfortunately, during the duration of my semester in EDM310, I did not utilize or develop my rtPLN as much as I wanted to. But I have intentions of using a PLN as a tool in the educational field.

The components of a Personal Learning Network that I plan to use and will continue to use are,

• Twitter
• I think Twitter can be a great way to spread ideas through educators alike.
• Pinterest
• I think the use of pinterest should be introduced in EDM310. It is a great tool for cultivating ideas and projects that motivate students and bring out creativity.
• Teacher Blogs
• One of the coolest ways to learn new ideas are through reading about other educators experiences and insights.
