5. Becoming a Connected Educator
— Active learning is better than passive
learning for our students
— The same is true for our own professional
development
— Web 2.0 supports the active learning version
of internet professional development.
6. Linking Web 2.0 to Becoming a
Connected Educator
— U.S. teachers often work in isolation with
few opportunities and limited time for
collaboration.
— Teachers can be more effective when not left
alone to address challenges.
8. Social media PD can be:
— real-time or on your time
— cost-effective
— completely customizable, and
accessible around the world
— driven by practitioners, not just
consultants.
9. Social Media Supports
Learning Communities

people who share a common interest.
— A social media community shares the
same common interest with a wider
audience.
10. Learning Communities
— ESL and general education teachers have
much to offer each other.
— Collaboration can make all teachers more
effective.
— ESL teachers need to seek collaboration, to
give and receive information.
— With Common Core collaboration is
essential.
11. Learning Communities Have…
— shared values and vision
— supportive conditions
— shared personal practice.
— supportive and shared leadership
— collective creativity
12. Collaboration Strategies
— Use a PLN (Personalized Learning Network)
as a way to make connections and share
ideas and resources online.
— When you develop a PLN online, you can
reach and connect with educators who share
your interests from around the state,
country, and world!
13. Benefits of a PLN

21. Why Twitter?
“Educators really can’t afford to NOT be on
Twitter. Our educational landscape is
changing very rapidly.
As educators we must continually be growing
and finding new ways to learn and reach our
students.
Twitter can be a catalyst in transforming your
classroom, your school, and your teaching.”
(Todd Nesloney, 2012)
