PLN Review and "Who am I Following Again?"

Followers from all across the world:

Can you believe it? Half of the semester is already over! Where did the time go? This link shows my frustration.

Anyways, time to review the PLN. The personal learning network is a very new thing to me. I have never experienced such a thing, but I really enjoy it. I think this is a valuable experience for us as future classroom teachers because as technology becomes more and more prevalent in today's education system, the more we need to keep up with the new ways of teaching and learning. I am benefitting by using the PLN because I am now able to familiarize myself with such a modern way of communication and learning.  I will use this knowledge and experience to incorporate such technology in my own classroom. In all honesty, I am really not experiencing any challenges. Yes I admit I was challenged and frustrated at first, but now I am confident with this system of learning.

Here is the list of my 5 professional blogs I have subscribed to:
1. Education Tools for 6th-8th Graders. Not too good of a blog so far. The title sounds good, but thats about it.
2. ELA 6th Grade. Written by a teacher. First blogs nothing too special. I think there is some potential.
3. EZ Tech Integration for Teachers. A lot of posts. Wide variety of things dealing with technology in schools. Could be valuable.
4. Write Out Loud. Used for a creative writing class I believe. Many posts. Many teaching ideas to use for own classroom. A lot of writing prompts.
5. Resources for Teaching Reading. A lot of posts. POV of college professor. Knowledgeable and could be valuable.

Here is the list of the professional Twitter accounts I am following:
1. CRHeitz. 7th grade ELA teacher. Many tweets. Some resources. Followed by many.
2. enpsteacher. 7th and 8th grade teacher. Many tweet. Many links to look through.
3. cmbelu. Yeah I don't know why I am following this person.
4. DerekBraman. 5th grade teacher. Not too many tweets about education. Potential though.
5. MissBartel. Looking for resources as well. Many tweets. Interesting person to follow because of same reason I am tweeting (to find educational resources).
6. jruggiano. 5th grade teacher. Not too many educational resources.

Well that is all for now.
