Blog 3: Personal Learning Network

 What does it mean to be a "connected" instructor?

To be a connected instructor, you actively participate in the global learning environment, which helps develop a personalized network for professional learning. A well-connected teacher allows others to see his progression, suggestions, and ideas in a specific field, especially in the area of education. It kept tracking down records on your improvement and that other colleges or students may learn or add their ideas to what you've contributed on your side. It helps you stay engaged with your students and collaborate more on the idea of learning, like digitally adapting to some inevitable changes or other relevant things that can help the students.


Should instructors and students have PLN? 

On a worldwide online (or offline) platform, a personal learning network is a group of people who share their innovations, questions, and solutions. It serves as your very own support system, allowing you to develop and learn from others. I think instructors should use PLNs due to the fact that building a personal learning network helps teachers gain classroom resource ideas and develop lesson ideas. I agree that students should have a PLN as it represents a guideline for their professional career. The PLN allows both teachers and students to connect with people around the world who share their professional interests and beliefs.

    I like that you said a well-connected teacher will allow others to see their progression and suggestions. I think it is important that teachers support each other from all around the world and be each others support. Like you mentioned, PLNs will help to generate ideas and help teachers provide more lesson plans. The technology that we have now is amazing and we should use it to our advantage to strengthen our instruction in classrooms. Thank you for your thoughts.

    I think your thoughts on being a connected instructor are great! There are many ways that one can be a connected instructor and I definitely agree that keeping record of your student's progression and helping others monitor this as well. Staying engaged with your students and keeping them engaged is an important part of this. I think there are many benefits to having a PLN and definitely agree that it is a great way for students and teachers to connect on a worldwide level, as well as in the classroom. Creating and maintaining a PLN is a good way to find support from other teachers and share ideas too!

Blog 1: Using Technology

 Blog 1 Prior experiences using technology My very first-time using technology was so difficult for me. I couldn't figure out how to use it until I played around with it and became acquainted with it, as well as with the assistance of others. It was extremely relaxing knowing how useful technology is and being able to understand how it works. My first encounter with the iPhone, for example, was difficult because I had to use my Apple ID and remember it in order to gain access to the device, and there were many more things for Apple devices, such as keeping it updated to the latest software. However, as I experimented with technology and learned how various devices work, I became acquainted with and gained background knowledge for the future use of new devices.

I also wanted to get familiar with this use of te...
