TEC 591 PLN

My PLN has been going for the past few years now. I follow my superintendent (@canyonsdave) and directors(@scotmccombs and @ddraper) on twitter. My superintendent is extremely tech savvy which is very nice.

My colleagues also use twitter as a means of communicating and collaborating with each other. I don't know where I'd be without it! We are all in different sites, but help each other through email and twitter.

My favorite professional sites to follow are google for educators, Classroom 2.0, Wesley Fryer's site (and also his twitter feeds @wfryer), Kevin Honeycutt (@kevinhoneycutt), and Jaime Casap (@jaimecasap) from Google.

I also have several contacts/colleagues that I communicate and collaborate with from Florida and Texas. I have worked with these individuals in the past, and we still collaborate on presentations. For example, this past spring, we collaborated via skype for a principals' conference. Vicki Allen, who resides in Dallas, is an education advocate for AT&T. She and I modeled effective use of Skype for conferences, trainings, and meetings.

I look forward to continuing to learn more from other professionals through twitter and also blogs.
