Blog Post #5 Part 2

                                                     My Personal Learning Network

At the beginning of the semester back in January, there wasn't much to my personal learning network(PLN).  EDM310 has helped my PLN grow substantially.  Once I started leaving comments for teachers, it opened my eyes to how much useful information and advice that is out there to be shared by other educators. I have all of my teachers’ links saved that I commented on so I can go back and check whats’s new. I have subscribed to a few educators from recent EDM blog post assignments, such as Paul Anderson. Another tool I added to my PLN is twitter.  I had never been on twitter before this class, but I now have an account and follow educators, mainly educators at USA.  I have not only added my educators to my PLN, but also the friends I have made in EDM310 that have helped me so much along the way.  Edutopia is another useful resource that is a part of my PLN.  I will continue adding resources to my PLN to help me on my path as a successful teacher.  I have already received useful advice from branching out with other educators and future educators.  I hope to show my students the steps to building their own PLN. I hope to use the collaboration portion of it as a method of teaching.  EDM310 has showed me how to start my PLN and I have much more insight on certain topics.  I hope to use this tool to ultimately enhance my learning experiences.
