Professional Learning for teachers has become increasingly important to ensure our students get the best possible education. So how can we keep up up to date with engaging tools and strategies for learning when PD budgets are tight and time is limited? Helen will share her journey in developing her online Professional Learning Network (PLN) and discuss the following:-
What is an online PLN?
How is this different to traditional Professional Learning experienced in schools?
How has Web 2.0 and Social Networking made an impact on Professional Learning for educators?
What are some examples and tools for online PLNs?
