In such a short time from starting my PLN I have watched it grow and it isn't going to stop because there is so much more that I want to add to it. From the first week of class we were learning how to expand our technology and learning to use different tools such as Twitter, Blogger, LinkedIn, and many others. The main topics that I started focusing on had to do with training and development. I wanted to learn more about what different companies and organizations had to offer in their way of thinking and how they taught various techniques and applied them to their theories. I have added various groups to Twitter which has enabled me to see how they perceive different ideas and theories and enabling them into my own. I have also found a whole bunch of people to follow on Twitter and LinkedIn. It is amazing how much social media has helped me grow my PLN. I am going to keep continuing to add different people, companies, and organizations. I think that there is always room to follow more people. As part of the social media we are an expanding group that will not stop contributing to learning.
Developing your PLN is exciting once you reach an understanding of the social media tools and get them all set up. It sounds as if you have a solid development plan in place and you have the right attitude to life learning. I added the technology of Diigo, Feedly, and Quorum to assist me in obtaining new sources of information that will continue to pique my interests. What feed tools are you planning on integrating into your PLN. Why do these selections appeal to you.
ReplyDeleteI agree my knowledge has expanded regarding use of the various technologies. I am excited to continue to build my PLN. The only social media I used in the past was Facebook. This course has taught me about the professional side of social media and it's advantages. So far what has been your best resource for building your PLN?
