2. What is a Personal Learning
Network(PLN)?
This is what you as a teacher use to learn apart from
professional development classes, in your own
personal time.
Some examples could be:
Twitter
Facebook
A teacher friend
Blogs
RSS feeds and more.
3. Interaction with Peers and other
teachers
I find that I learn best from talking with other teachers
and asking them about their views on education.
I learn by sharing ideas with fellow teachers and
collaborating different teaching ideas.
4. Twitter
I currently do not use twitter but I think that I could
benefit greatly by subscribing to other teachers twitter
feeds because I spend a lot of time on the internet.

5. Professional Experience
The practical experience that I obtain as a teacher
would be a huge source of learning for me. I learn
heaps from having hands on experience in the
classroom.
Even receiving constructive criticism, helps me a lot to
grow as a teacher.
6. Facebook
By subscribing to a teachers feed on Facebook, I could
learn about new techniques and find resources which
show up on my newsfeed.
Because I check Facebook every day, this would be one
of the most effective learning tools for my PLN.

7. YouTube
This is a massive resource that I currently use for my
teaching.
I have used a massive amount of YouTube videos and I
believe they are very engaging for students and can be
a great learning tool.

8. Tumblr
Tumblr is also a great blogging website, which I believe
I could gather a lot of teaching information from.
I do not currently have a Tumblr account but I plan to
get one in the future.

9. Reflective Blog
I have never used a blog but I think a reflective
teaching blog could be an effective tool for my own
professional development as a teacher.
Even a website like tumblr. could be effective as a
reflective blog website.
10. Dropbox
I could also use dropbox to store all my teaching
resources, to make sure that they are never lost.
