I have a twitter account where I am able to engage with my PLN. This environment allows me to engage with several educators and education professionals from all over the world. People are constantly sharing resources and helpful materials that help me to become a better educator. I have also participated in several Twitter chats which help me to build my PLN even more.

In ET 630, Digital Communication for Educators, we developed a PLN website where we were able to take our personal experience with creating a PLN to guide others. In reviewing the PLN website you will see a step-by-step method to create your own PLN.
