Outcome:
Participants use professional learning networks as both consumers and contributors to increase their professional knowledge and skills.
Social networking has become one of my go to sources for the latest in educational technology and other resources. This is a screen capture from TweetDeck that shows some of the sources of the things I have learned. Through social networking I have begun following specific hashtags, educators, organizations, and other professionals with insight into the latest trends surrounding education and technology. Some of my go to sources include Google for Education, Alice Keeler, Leslie Fisher, and Matt Miller. Social networking has allowed me to stay relevant and hear ideas from all across the world. Though it is not my primary purpose for using social networking, I will occasionally share resources and ideas through the various sites.
