PLN's and Why the Are SO Important

PLNs, or professional learning networks are one awesome tool for teachers, especially during those times of year where we begin feeling a little tired/burnout/undermotivated/overworked. This happens to even the best of us.

Sometimes teachers need a breath of fresh air. New Ideas. Some one else who understands! Professional learning networks can be all this and more. Now that summer has started, I am missing my classroom, my kids, and my routine. I am taking advantage of my awesome PLNs so I can begin planning out my next year. This helps build some excitement and can help ease the omg-so-much-to-do time of the beginning of August.

If you are wondering how to access a PLN, I can safely say you are already SURROUNDED! Twitter using the hashtag #educhat is a great way to start. Checking out blogs, (like this one) can also give you tons of new ideas!

Dive in, fear not, and build yourself and PLN!
