7. MY PLN
PARTICIPATION…
Before EDU 210 I had not used Twitter and was unsure
of how it would benefit be as a student & aspiring
teacher. However, I have grown to appreciate the
complexities and opportunities a PLN can have.
Although, I am still developing online connections and
becoming more familiar with the digital world that is
Twitter, I am motivated to continue participating to enrich
my current knowledge.
My journey to become a future educator is a constant
learning process. I will continue to stay active on my PLN
to improve my knowledge and build on prior knowledge
in order to become the best educator for myself, my
students, and my colleagues.
