The Power of the PLN!

The Twitterverse has changed my life!  Each day I come across committed educators who make a difference in classrooms everyday. Additionally, they find the time to share their perspective and practice with teachers around the world. I am committed to using the Quick Key Blog to highlight these educators. Keep an eye on my twitter feed for the hashtag #teachermade to follow the contributions of these amazing frontline educators.

I connected with Bobbi Capwell through Quick Key, she brings a well rounded perspective from a frontline educator. I was honored that she included me in one of her blog posts about her PLN, and I recommend you follow her blog with all deliberate speed. You rock Bobbi!

From Bobbi Capwell’s Blog:

Things I do now that I have a PLN

It is funny how your perception changes once you start really communicating with the people you follow on any Social Media. These folks I am talking about are some of the most incredibly brilliant and creative people in the world. My PLN reminds me of the Nursery Rhyme with the Butcher, Baker and Candlestick maker- I have Educational Consultants, Educators of all subjects and ages, Preachers, Musicians, Chefs, Programmers, and Authors. What a support system it has become! I thought this would be a great way to express what I have learned from them. Sometimes, it might be a quick status, tweet or a direct message that means something to me or that makes me think “I want to learn more about that” or “How Cool! I could share that with my teachers!”
