The Personal & Professional Learning Network (PLN)
THE BIG IDEA
Social media has allowed people to communicate important messages through powerful real-time images (Japan earthquake 2011, Osama bin Laden 2011). With Twitter,
Facebook, and YouTube alone we have the ability to spread a message and connect to an audience of millions worldwide.
Can a purposeful & practical message on education & community based outcomes be
spread in this same way?
Without question!! It’s all about Networked Learning.
What is anyway
Communication – Connection – Conversation

The Essential Question
What’s happening?
Let’s reframe the question…
…in Education…in Special Education
…in Transition…in Assistive Technology
So, what can twitter do for me?
• Connect me with those doing similar work and who share my interests.
• Connect me to current trends and research in transition & beyond.
• Connect me with my colleagues.
• Connect me with the community.
Networked learning is a process of developing and maintaining connections with people and information, and communicating in
such a way so as to support one another's learning.
