JANUARY 6, 2019

I was honored to have been interviewed for Educational Leadership, ASCD's flagship magazine, on the power of Twitter as part of a Personal Learning Network (PLN). As you will see, the true power of connected learning is what you glean from the people you engage with. How did you use it to improve your practice?

When principals hear the words Twitter and Facebook they cringe. This is true, in many cases, when these tools are used for personal use. Quite simply, social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook have improved my effectiveness and efficiency as an educational leader. We are making learning relevant, meaningful, and creative!

To put it simply, our students are often better at learning about new technologies than we are. Thoroughly explore new technology and get to grips with how to use it before a lesson or unit. Learn from the digital natives! Use their strengths and foster a collaborative class who all learn together. Use the experts!

Many connected educators tout the value they’ve found in developing a Personal Learning Network, or a “PLN.” From the start, Dawn wanted to make sure this was a community that encouraged conversations about teaching and learning , not just about tablets and apps.

Teachers and principals also increasingly voice opposition to blocking social websites, noting that schools have an obligation to teach students how to use social media responsibly. Learning how to behave online responsibly and safely—a concept known as digital citizenship—requires access to social media tools in schools, they note.
