In my studies I have been introduced to Personal Learning Networks (PLNs)-online communities of practice that offer support, share ideas and good practice among professionals with a shared passion.
I have set up my own PLN and my fellow colleagues have been my network. Please refer to screenshot above.
At the end of my unit (October 2013) it will be exported to the wider internet community so I can continue my learning and interaction with those in education.
I foresee this service being used as a tool for students in the classroom to connect with other students around the globe sharing knowledge about common topics and themes and how they affect people in other countries-for example, global warming in Alaska compared with Australia.
A new venture for me has been setting up a Twitter account for educational purposes.
Educators share ideas, thoughts and lesson plans around different topics in education.
All this has helped in my understanding of the use of technology in education.
I realise my journey has only started but I hope with the knowledge I now have I will be able to facilitate learning in a new way in the classroom using technology.
