1. Activity 2.3: Multimedia Reflection
A Review of my Personal Learning Network over
the last 4 weeks.

2. One of the first benefits of Twitter, came
with following George Couros.

3. My Twitter started modestly but quickly grew. As I
added one educator, others were easy to find. This
screen shot was only two weeks after I started using
twitter. Following 76! I started with about 5.

4. My Twitter account now, the following are still
increasing, but my followers are growing steadily
too!

5. I've expanded the different kinds of
networking sites.

6. Following
Alberta
Education on
Twitter is greatly
beneficial for me
as a student
now, and as a
teacher later on.
I'm getting
insight into
current issues
and events. I will
be up to date
when I do enter
a classroom.

7. I've also created an about.me
account. This is a one stop shop for
all of my PLN resources for others to
follow me. I have found other
educators using about.me and it's a
great way to follow everything they
are up to.

8. My Tumblr account is
still growing, but the
resources I have seen
are encouraging. One
example, Team
Teachers, provides
examples of successful
technologies for in the
classroom. Also, they
have fun activities for
teachers to do amongst
themselves, like a get fit
challenge. This is one to
keep for the future.

9. So far, a lot of my network has been for
reference. However, I have participated on
Twitter by retweeting important educational
resources, responding to educators comments
and starring the resources I would like to use in
the future.

10. I'm enjoying the connections I am
making and cannot wait to use them in
the future!
