Week 7 - Being a Connected Educator, Part 2

This week, I decided to stick with the connected educator theme and have students do some more work on building their PLN.  They were asked to participate in a twitter chat (which caused some technical frustrations for some), follow new people on twitter, read some professional blogs and subscribe to them.  Basically, I wanted them to continue to connect with people online and to watch how educators represent themselves online.  I had to have a few little conversations with students about twitter usernames they chose or the picture they used but, all in all it seemed to be a good week.

Students noticed that I switched topics based on their feedback and made a point to tell me that they appreciated it.  I think spending some additional time submersing themselves in online learning will help them to be better teachers and connected educators in the future!
