23 Resources about Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) Part of the Cool Sites series For the past year, I have researched the what, who, when, how, and why of Personal/Professional/Passionate Learning Networks (PLNs). We have seen the benefits of the people we choose to connect, collaborate, and problem solve with through social media. The educators, subject matter experts (SMEs), authors, and mentors we choose to derive knowledge from help us self-reflect on our methodologies and beliefs.
They support us, remember our birthdays, celebrate our accomplishments, and stir within us a passion to improve the status quo. Many might argue we are an echo chamber, but I don’t really believe this. A community raises a child! Below are several resources I have collected about the history of PLNs, how to build a PLN, and the tools needed to build a PLN. We Connect Wiki- This wiki is full of videos, Wallwishers, Wikipedia articles, and more that help educators find the resources to build a PLN.

Blogging Tips for Teachers. What’s Here This page shares ideas for educators to use in creating websites with teaching resources. Learn how to set up and design your blog, create strong content, build a following online, and more! These tips are based on my own personal experience with running a website for teachers since July 2003–almost a decade! Lots of things have changed over the years, but the need for valuable teacher resources on the web is as strong as ever.
Setting Up Your Blog The first step to setting your blog apart: always write about something you know and truly care about. Choose your blogging platform carefully. Pick a great template. Choose a niche or focus for your blog . Be cautious of using your grade level as your niche. Google your blog title and niche before going live with it.
Creating Strong Blog Content The phrase I live by is content is king. Many bloggers spend too much time focusing on promoting their blogs and not enough time writing stuff people want to read. Stay true to your voice. Sign In | webspirationclassroom.com.
