Global Collaboration and Community
Connecting with a PLN has had a dramatic impact on my work as an educational technology specialist. Being a connected educator means expanding your resources and broadening your world. I don’t just feel that this is simply important but believe that it is necessary. Often, I am working on something so specific that no one in my face to face network can help me. By reaching out to a larger network I can find more potential solutions and build relationships with other like minded educators. These connections help broaden horizons and spark innovation in the field of educational technology. I can contribute my own work and ideas to my PLN and share my learning with other professionals to help build their capacity.
