Final Report on PLN

When I first heard the term PLN, I had no idea what the term meant. However through the knowledge I have obtained from EDM310 I am able to define what my PLN is. I have learned about so many different things through EDM310, some of the things I have learned were completely new to me and others were just an enhancement of what I already know. Whether the knowledge is new or old, it has been shared with me for a reason. I have come to realize that technology is vital in any classroom and if a teacher makes the choice to incorporate technology into their curriculum they will reap more benefits than the teacher that does not.
By being asked to follow blogs, create my own, follow others, make podcasts and videos I have not only learned new things but explored and learned on MY OWN. I think this is a teaching style other teachers should adopt. A student will internalize the information and have a sense of self confidence by knowing they are capable of doing things by themselves. I know that I will be an advocate of technology and continue to explore new things on my own so that I can be as up to date as possible for my students sake. I can honestly say that my PLN was not only created in this class, but has also expanded in ways I never would have imagined.
By the encouragement and self responsibility placed on me early on in this class I have learned anything is possible. I am fully capable of creating and editing my own work and being able to share my knowledge with others. I have learned the only way to explore and advance in technology is to share information with others.
