7. My PLN Participation
 Forming a PLN on Twitter has given me the opportunities to
explore and discover various resources, information,
educators and peers who share similar interests.
 Twitter allows me to interact with educators and
organizations who possess valuable information on
integrating technology in classrooms from grades K-12.
 Developing my PLN has been an exciting experience and I
will definitely continue on using this source even after this
class.
 I have formed connections and expanded my PLN through
retweeting, tweeting, adding hash tags, and following
professionals in the field.
