When I started thinking about how my PLN has grown during this course, I began with how my PLN looked prior to starting Online Applications for Collaboration. As sad as it appears below, I had just four tools that were all at a very basic development.

Now in week seven of the course, I was able to add a significant amount of resources to my PLN. I am surprised (and a little embarrassed) at how much I was able to grow my PLN in such a short amount of time. I gained significant development in the areas of Blogs and Collaborative Tools and added a new area of Social Networks to my PLN. Even though I was extremely leery at first, I have become a huge supporter of Social Networks in PLN's now. You can see that it is actually one of my PLN's largest components below.

I look forward to adding more contacts, resources, and tools to my PLN in the future. I'm confident that the next visualization of my PLN will be even better!
Amazing transformation! Way to go! You should use these visuals in your NETS-T 5 Reflection Assignment and add them to your ePortfolio for the MET program.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea to show how you have grown in this course for your visual! Definitely powerful to see!
ReplyDeleteI like how you compared your before and after PLN. I felt the same way when reflecting on mine. I was using a few, but not in the correct way. Now I feel like I am utilizing so many different tools and using them to help me a better teacher.
ReplyDeleteI think your visual says it all...I think I could steal it and use it for mine as well. LOL
ReplyDeleteI like how your visual isn't overly busy. The simplicity was something I attempted to mimic, but came up with all kinds of issues in formatting. It all looks great :-)
