2. First Snapshot of my Google+ PLN
• May 9, 2014
• I have 0 followers and 0 views
• Google+ was kind and did not remind me….
3. Steve P. Brady
• I began following Mr.
Brady after I noticed he
made a post about
information on finding
your first teaching
position.
• He provided an excellent
example of a resume that
I can use when I start job
hunting in the fall
• I thanked him for his
posting and he wrote me
back offering assistance
in the future.
• He regularly posts to both
`teachers helping
teachers` and `elementary
school teachers`
4. Teachers Helping
Teachers
• Teachers Helping Teachers
is a community I found
within Google+ that will
be very helpful once I find
myself a teaching
position.
• In this community
teachers can share
lessons, ideas and ways of
teaching that other
teachers can comment
and add to.
• One educator I found
quite knowledgeable in
this community was
Bethany Petty who makes
regular posts about
education content and
resources
5. Ed Tech Review
• I find that this
organization is both
useful now and when I
will be working as a
teacher.
• After reviewing the posts
I noticed that they
provide some
comprehensive reviews
about the quality tech
that can be used in the
classroom.
• This is extremely
important for me as a pre
service teacher because I
know there is lots of tech
out there but I don’t have
a full understanding of
what tech is the best
6. A snapshot of my Google+ PLN
• June 10, 2014
• I have gained a few followers and had over 250+ views
7. PLN Participation
• Over the course of using my Google+ PLN I have discovered that Google+
contains information on topics in education that I didn’t even know
existed
• I can use the teachers, resources and endless posts as a way to benefit my
educational career and help me with my daily, monthly and yearly lesson
planning
• I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed building my PLN. Initially I
did not think I was going to use it after this class but I have found myself
checking posts and skimming circles in my free time.
• I have met a few individuals that use Google+ as well as added some of my
old teachers to strengthen my teaching. I have commented on select
posts and communicated with their creators.
• Some of my favourite communities and people to follow are:
• Educators on Google+, Educational Technology, Joke of the day, Google
apps in education, and Teachers Helping Teachers
