Day 22
What does your PLN look like, and what does it do for your teaching?
I got into developing my PLN last year when I heard Will Richardson speak at my school. Someone asked him about joining Twitter, and he said it's the most valuable professional development he's ever encountered. It's also free!

I agree with Mr. Richardson. My personal learning network is the folks I follow and who follow me on Twitter, my friends and family on Facebook, my colleagues where I teach, my LinkedIn contacts, and my cohort & instructors from grad school.
These folks are always expanding my horizons. Sometimes it's a great article someone posts about my content area. Sometimes I ask a question, like, "Is there an app for easy voice recording and storytelling?" My new favorite app, Adobe Voice, came to me in the form of an answer to that question from @actionhero. Score!
This 30-Day Blog Challenge in and of itself expands my PLN. I get to know more like-minded folks interested in reflective teaching, and I've already made some great connections and learned a lot from fellow bloggers!
