“ Connecting with other educators via social media
has been the best professional learning in my thirty
plus years in education. The growth is
immeasurable and I think teachers not connecting
in this way are falling behind in their learning.”

“You quickly see developments/updates in
education. I've expanded my learning
network to become worldwide. Some of these
have connections have become social
contacts as well.”

“What we personally hold true and dear and
important is what will define our pedagogy. It's hard to
separate being a networked individual/human from
being a networked educator. The personal bleeds
into the professional and that should be okay.”

“...it brings the best ideas from around the world in one
common area for everyone to share and exchange.
It provides a context for teachers to grow professionally as
well as grow their profession into something that can affect
change in education around the world.”

How to get hold of us
Handout - jot down some ideas you have to take action on as we go through. Link to handout: http://goo.gl/40ccv
Survey room with series of questions about Social Networking/Learning beliefs etc
Have a brief chat with somebody around you: most surprising question/answer?
What better way to talk about Prof Learning Networks than to reach out to our own PLNs. We’d like to share with you 4 responses to a little questionnaire we sent out a few weeks back. We feel these 4 are a good representative sample, as they show PYP/MYP/DP classroom teachers and a Tech Director - which we hope shows that developing a PLN will be beneficial to all educators. We’ve asked them to help highlight some of the benefits of being a networked educator; To put it another way, how is being a networked educator helping to make them smarter?
“ As knowledge becomes networked, the smartest person in the room isn’t the person standing at the front lecturing us, and isn’t the collective wisdom of those in the room. The smartest person in the room is the room itself: the network that joins the people and ideas in the room, and connects to those outside of it. It’s not that the network is becoming a conscious super-brain. Rather, knowledge is becoming inextricable from—literally unthinkable without—the network that enables it. Our task is to learn how to build smart rooms—that is, how to build networks that make us smarter, especially since, when done badly, networks can make us distressingly stupider.” - David Weinberger
These are the top tools in order, represented by our little survey. As we only have an hour, we’ll briefly show you the benefits of: Twitter RSS Diigo (social bookmarking)
Facebook; instagram; linkedin; (if time)
Grow your own PLN!
As lifelong learners, connected and networked learners, we have the opportunity to model and embody the attributes of the learner profile. What can we do to take action?
