Reflection

My Personal Learning Network was nonexistent before beginning this course. This course has taught me so much and made me comfortable sharing what I know with other professionals at my school. I used several Web 2.0 tools for social purposes, but never dreamed of how useful these tools could be on a professional level. I am currently a third grade teacher at my school. I plan on using these tools for professional development purposes. However, when I get in an administrative position I will feel completely prepared to use these tools to share information with stakeholders on a larger level. As fast as technology changes, I am sure there will be something new by the time I reach this position, however, by keeping up-to-date with new technology from my own PLN I will know where to go now for professional development and questions I will have along the way. I have developed a professional relationship with the technology coordinator at my school through this course. We are now following each other on Twitter and keep each other informed of things we think are interesting to know and beneficial to our school. I am going to work together with her to provide a professional development session with the teachers in my school. I will show them how to use various Web 2.0 tools to create their own PLN. I look forward to reflecting on our school's progress during the PLU session of this course.
