Reflection on PLN

I believe I have a good start in building my personal learning network.  I have displayed some of the tools I am using or have researched to enhance my understanding of social networking.  I realize I have only scratched the surface of the many resources offered.  Having a PLN is absolutely necessary to continue to grow as an educator.  After exploring the social networking world, I realize connecting and collaborating is the vital key to be successful.  Therefore, I recognize the benefit of going beyond the classroom walls.  Students and educators will be more likely to be motivated and engaged in their own learning. I found Twitter, Google Blogger, Pinterest, and Diigo to be the most beneficial in making connections and collaborating with other educators.  There are endless opportunities when implementing tools linked within the PLN.  Providing these opportunities will prepare students for the global world as well as provide them with an enriched educational experience.
