#PSTPLN Challenge RoCo edition

See how powerful a PLN can be to help you grow as an educator, share ideas and build a professional digital presence. I borrowed heavily from @spoyo' sPSTPLN challenge that she did with her students with her permission as my students were not able to participate in her challenge because the course had not started at that time. I was already looking to create something similar for my students when she posted about her challenge.

What is a PLN?

A PLN is a network of people who share common interest and share information with each other. It is a great place to learn from others and to get help no matter where you are in your educational journey. You can find a PLN of teachers from youir state, grade level, or subject area or maybe you want to learn more about an education topic like blended learning or ed tech there is something for everyone.

So why the Challenge?

The challenge is to help you jump feet first into Twitter and experience the many different aspects of what Twiter can offer you as a PLN. These challenges will help you interact with other educators and build a professional digital presence. First you need a professional Twitter account. This needs to be separate from your personal account. Consider the name that you will use for this account, you need to think like a professional educator. Then, choose a picture for your profile that represents you. Don't forget to include a description to let fellow educators know what you are all about: who you are, what you do and where your educational interest fall.
