Conferences are great ways to make lasting connections with people.to grow your personal learning network. Before the conference I had the chance to fly out to Colorado a few days early and spend time with people I had never met. Yeah, you might not really know that person sitting next to you.

You can either lurk and learn or develop your own Personal Learning Network (PLN) to farm the best ideas and strategies that are actually working in similar demographics. When using social media, think about the platforms being used and mix it up by mashing together text, hyperlinks, images, and video.

There is nothing more important to an educator, outside of working with kids, than professional learning. Through social media a Personal Learning Network (PLN) provides a great antidote to the age-old time excuse. You can now learn anywhere, with anyone, at anytime you want for free.

What I really enjoyed was there were so many people there that I knew because of social media. Members of my PLN (Personal Learning Network), PLC (Professional Learning Community), colleagues, whatever you want to call them, (I call them all friends) were there sharing their learning with not only the new teachers, but with me as well.

Up until this point I really didn’t have a clue as to what it was all about except that it was a social media tool that functioned like an electronic bulletin board.

The concept of a Personal Learning Network (PLN) has been around for a couple of years now. Carve out a little time each day (15 – 30 minutes) and use one of many available free tools to learn. I swore I would never be on social media as I didn’t have the time for it and that it would not help me professionally.

This should remain a possibility once it’s safe to gather more people in one conference room again. Plan for short online learning sessions during the school week, or bundle a number of them during school breaks. Some swear by their PLNs (Personal Learning Networks) or CoPs (Communities of Practice).

However, the mounting pressure from ridiculous mandates as a result of the current education reform movement and massive budget cuts across the country, have made it a challenge to learn through traditional pathways. Without funding, many districts no longer allow leaders to travel to national/state conferences or even attend local workshops.

Since 2009 I have been a huge believer and advocate for connected learning and the formation of Personal Learning Networks (PLN’s). Now don't get me wrong, I still highly value face-to-face experiences, as there are some natural limits to learning exclusively in a social media vacuum.
