Wordpress is a site where I have advanced my PLN. The
chart above is a summary of the amount of views (per
week). To the right is a display of the notifications I
receive when someone likes or comments on my posts. I
am very pleased with these results as I was not
anticipating such a large network of support from
educators around the world!
7. PLN participation
Wordpress and twitter have helped me crate a
positive digital footprint as well as a strong PLN.
Both sites focus on K- 12 educators from around the
world, as well as a strong emphasis on technology in
the classroom.
Interacting with educators have given me insight into
the profession of teaching that I may have only
achieved after years of teaching.
