The document describes the progress of the author's professional learning network (PLN) over the course of a semester. It summarizes several accounts that have been useful for finding new educational technologies, lesson plans, and extracurricular activity ideas. These include SMART Technologies for updates on new tech tools, Scholastic Teachers for lessons and websites, and Discovery Education for science-related content. The author concludes by reflecting on having learned new theories and facts from their PLN and plans to expand it further by joining groups and following more teachers on Twitter to build resources for their future career.

learn more about teaching

websites that are fun to
share with your class.

6. My PLN
• I have learned many theories and
interesting facts by following the
people I follow.
• I have also learned different
lesson plans from various sources
• I especially enjoy accounts that
have to do with my interests.
Including History, Art and
interesting facts in general.
• I intend to expand my PLN by
adding myself to teacher groups
and following many more people
on Twitter so by the time I am a
teacher I have many sources to
refer to.
