The social networking site I chose to join is The Educator's PLN . The Educator's PLN, or Personal Learning Network, is a place for educators to come together and share sources, connections, videos, blogs, and discussions. It acts as a support network for educators. I chose this site because I really like the idea of collaboration and each person bringing something unique to the table. When I first joined The Educator's PLN, #Edchat. #Edchat is a place for educators to quite literally, chat with each other. It is a network of educators with similar questions, ideas, problems, etc. I followed the #Edchat discussions via my Twitter account. I plan to use The Educator's PLN as a place to gather new information and ideas, learn from my colleagues and connect with other educator's around the world. I also plan to stay connected with the #Edchat discussions. I find that the topics they cover are things that I often have questions about or need more clarification on.
This blog will be used for my LAI 590 course. This course is part of my graduate studies in Education and Technology. The contents of this blog will focus on students who are Language Learners.
