Follow Up on PLNs

James posted earlier this year, apparently, about building an online Professional Learning Network (PLN). I have made friends and professional contacts all over the world using Facebook, Twitter, and educational blogs. I am presenting next month in San Antonio with a lady from Maine who I met through Twitter, and we are professional birds of a feather. There are many ways to benefit from building a PLN, and one of those is participating in a Twitter chat. There's a chat (online scheduled discussion) for just about every topic possible. Recently, Rachel Pierson, from Trinity in Waukesha, and I started a chat for WELS teachers. The first one of the new year is tonight, 8-9 p.m. Tonight's topic is timely for our school: Implementing 1:1/BYOT. How can you join? Follow the steps below.

 1. Create a Twitter account, if you don't already have one.

 2. Go to tweetchat.com and sign in using your Twitter username and password.

 3. Enter the hashtag WELSed and press enter.

 4. Follow along and comment as you feel comfortable!
