My PLN has grown significantly, and I plan to continue developing it as I grow as a teacher!

7. PLN PARTICIPATION
I have tried to develop my
PLN by retweeting things that
I find interesting, and replying
to authors. I believe this
fosters a good relationship
with open communication. I
follow people who post
valuable information. I have
learned a great deal from
others and hope that they can
learn from me! Some of my
favorite hashtags are #edu210,
#edchat, #techchat, and
#scichat
