A Principal's Reflections

NOVEMBER 8, 2020

For the most part, this consisted of attending mandatory district “PD” days, professional learning communities (PLC)’s or approved off-site experiences such as conferences, workshops, or webinars. In March of 2009, I began to use Twitter, and it was at this time that I began to create a Personal Learning Network (PLN).

Reflecting on a busy weekend of conversation and learning at this year’s annual ASCD conference in Los Angeles, a few bright spots stand out for me. These are the bright spots that make this year’s conference feel different than the last one I attended. Social Media and Connected Learning.

2: Develop a PLN on Twitter Okay, I know what you are thinking…”Is she really talking about Twitter again?” As I’ve mentioned before, I fell down the Twitter rabbit hole last September and I am a better educator because of it. Join Twitter – just do it. Why not host your own mini-conference and/or EdTech Bootcamp ?

All too often in education – whether that be at a conference, in a professional learning workshop, or even at a faculty meeting, we have become used to one person in the room being the “expert”, or the “Oz” around a particular topic. This is the worse possible post-event outcome I can think of. If no, then why not?
