In my district, it’s our 1:1 initiative, which we call Connect2Learn , that will be our new challenge for the start of the 2015-16 school year. Go to an edcamp, go to a conference, go to your local Google Educator Group meetup, or use social media to put together your own! Maintain support.

In order to create these much-needed Personalized Learning Networks educators will need to learn about social media and its culture. I used to feel the same way about Edcamp; I did not really understand the appeal of the process and thought it seemingly was a waste of time, even though so many people said the exact opposite.

I see educators go to places like EdCamp and share how excited they are about the opportunities for learning that happens at those types of events, yet it is rare that I see people sharing how excited they are to attend their own PD days.

Things such as Genius Hour, Innovation Week/Day, Identity Day, Maker Spaces, EdCamps, Flipped Classrooms, revamped professional learning opportunities, using social media to create powerful opportunities for learning, and a myriad of other empowering ways to learn, are things that didn’t exist when I went to school.
