Posted by Shelly Terrell on Monday, January 2nd 2012 Part of the Cool Sites series January is the month when many of us are motivated to accomplish our goals for the year. If you are like me then you may have experienced several years of getting goals accomplished then felt defeated. In April 2009, I joined Twitter and began collaborating and communicating with educators and found that this interaction helped me accomplish goals and so much more.
With free social media platforms you can begin to develop and harness the power of your Personal/ Passionate Learning Network (PLN) to accomplish goals. The 30 Goals Challenge- Over 7000 educators have participated in the 1st and 2nd cycles of this global challenge for educators with the premise of getting you to complete 30 professional development goals in one year. Free Online Classes Throughout the Year! Although many of these don’t necessarily start in January, these free courses are worth keeping an eye on for the rest of the year!
