Prior to EDM 310, I didn't know what a personal learning network was. However, after seeing the positive effects of having a PLN, I've been developing one of my own. It's still in its beginning stages, but I've already found myself relying on it more and more.
I teach a 2 year old preschool class, and I've been looking for new tracing worksheets to use with the kids to teach them to write their ABCs and 123s. I've come across quite a few stay-at-home moms' and teachers' blogs that post all kinds of fun worksheets to do with kids to help their writing. I've been using them for the past two weeks and I can already tell a difference in my students penmanship! My excitement prompted me to continue searching, and I have found numerous more blogs with activities to use with preschoolers.
My PLN also includes Twitter and Pintrest. I follow educational inspirations like Krissy Vensodale on twitter, and I have special boards on pintrest dedicated to children.
My PLN definitely needs some work, but hopefully by the next progress report it will be expanded to twice the size now!
