Describe your personal goals for Developing and growing Personal Learning Networks for School Leaders by addressing one of the prompts below:

Reflect on how your personal learning network has changed and grown during the course of this workshop. Discuss your plans for how you plan to continue to grow your learning network and how you hope to contribute to the professional learning of your administrative colleagues.


This course has allowed me the time to think about my personal learning network.  To be honest, my personal learning network mainly consisted of searching the internet for relevant topics.  Since taking this course, I have realized that there are much more efficient ways of engaging in a personal learning network, such as RSS feeds, Twitter, and Blogs.  I am working to change my Twitter account to more of a professional account and tailor the people that I follow to those that are speaking on topics that I are currently studying, such as dyslexia.  I also want to be able to connect my Twitter and RSS feeds to my blog so that I can share information with others that I come in contact with on the internet.  I think that streamlining these accounts is going to be something that will really help me manage the time portion of a professional learning network.
