Final Report on PLN

PLN

My PLN is something that I have become very fond of! At first, the idea of having a Personal Learning Network was a bit of a foreign concept to me. Now, however, I have a better of something that organizes every website, work space, network, and resource I wish to use without having to physically keep up with it on my own. I have added a good amount of tiles to my PLN and have completely filled all of the spaces now. I kept a few of the ones that were already there but have added many more that I felt would be of great use to me in the future. As an English major in secondary education, I searched for sites and networks that would not only help me in the fields of technology, writing, literature, and grammar. I also kept various social networks, such as Twitter, Pinterest, Edmodo, and YouTube that I believe will widely open doors to interactive learning through the world of technology. I added many tiles that deal with essay writing, grammar skills and rules, and access to many pieces of literature. I have not yet found games that I absolutely loved for use in my classroom, but I will continue to search and explore the tiles that I have added and many more as I begin teaching. I have found that Symbaloo is the perfect way to create, use, and edit my Personal Learning Network. It is perfect for me because it is very user friendly, and it allows me to go straight to my PLN with no trouble at all. I am very glad that I was introduced to this concept, and can't wait to see how it unfolds with my students!
