PROFESSIONAL LEARNING NETWORK
SEPTEMBER 18, 2012
Here is a snap shot of my twitter account. I had just created a new account to start building my PLN and within the first few days had
already started to find a wide array of people to follow.

OCTOBER 9, 2012
Over the few weeks in which I have had a twitter account, I went from having zero followers and zero followees, to following 53
people and having 20 followers. Over this time period I have also tried to connect with the wider education community and put out
17 tweets of my own.
• Developing my Professional Learning Network through online mediums such as Twitter has proved itself to be helpful even in these early stages. Through this social media tool I have been able to:
• Connect with professionals currently in the educational field
• Meet and connect with other pre-service teachers
• Become involved in debates and discussions which will become
important to my teaching strategies through this like #edchat
• My Twitter account mainly consists of others studying Education at the University of Alberta, teachers, librarians, technology professionals, and educational based organizations (ex. Alberta Ed, ATA, etc.)
