The Ultimate PLN tool
Jun 30th, 2012 by Cathy Jo Nelson
So I ran across this tweet today, and was first sucked in after clicking the link when I realized Clemson (from right here in SC) is a partner sponsor. I also took a second look when the Anderson University is nodded as a sponsoring partner too, another SC institution, along with Indiana University of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania State University.
Because I’m a believer
I went through the survey as I am a believer in the power of networking tools as a way to help educators cultivate a professional learning network and streamline their own professional learning through like-minded educators. Using hashtags, various chats, and search streams available in my preferred Twitter client, Hootsuite, I can’t say enough positive things about the way it has impacted my own practice as a teacher and learner. I do however have to also say that I use Facebook and Google Plus in similar ways. These edu-networking tools are a staple in my own teacher toolbox.
Take the survey
Anyway, if you are a Twitter user, please consider participating in this survey. Word is the results will be shared at the end of summer.
