My PLN Journey...What this means to me

This past few weeks I've been doing a lot of work on expanding and putting to use my PLN and thinking about what it does for me. I'm still trying to grasp the whole concept of an educational use of twitter or other social networking tools. Hopefully over the next couple of weeks I can start to put fourth a better effort to make it a better learning tool. I'm more use to the whole routine of googling the subject and just researching it on my own. So we'll see how it goes. B-)

    Hi I'm a student from Burlington High School in Burlington, Massachusetts. I believe that we Skyped with your teacher Mrs. Miller, and she told us what your class is, it is basically the same thing as our class, Web 2.0. The internet is really a great learning tool to find out information. I am building up a PLN as well, and still trying to figure out the whole concept of it.

    Marcus,

    Thanks for your honesty in this because it is new ground for schools to be using these tools with students. You are so lucky to have an innovative teacher like Mrs. Miller and a school that trusts students to use social media. Here, we are working on having students build their PLN's around something they are passionate about. We look forward to sharing out insights and reading yours as well.

    Should be an interesting year.

    Hey, I'm also from Burlington High and I know how you feel. I was so confused how to use this blog at first but trust me it gets way easier as you go. The PLN was hard to understand but now that I know what to do, it's really helpful. Goodluck!

    Hey I am also a student from Burlington High School. We are starting to make our own PLNs and I think it is a lot of fun. I'm stil trying to get used to twitter as wee, but I feel like as time goes on, I'll get the hang of it. Good luck with your PLN!

    Hey I am from Burlington High School in Massachusetts. I am taking web 2.0 also and my class is learning about all of the helpful tools to use online, such as google reader, twitter and blogger. I am also still trying to understand completely what a PLN is and how it is helpful. I am sure we will both learn a lot of new things in this class and it will be very helpful for us later on.

    Hi I'm a student from Burlington High I really like your confidence about how you feel. I still confused how to use the web to find helpful tools, but I think when we get used to do it is going to get easier. Good luck!

    Hey Marcus. I'm Kerry and another student from Burlington High School. I am also in a web 2.0 class and still trying to figure out how this all works too. I think that we'll become more comfortable with the class once we've been doing it for a while. Once we understand how to use the web in this way a little bit better, i think we'll find it is a great learning tool. I am also trying to start a PLN too and it seems difficult but a good idea. Hope you get to understand it more.
