As someone passionate about the power of using technology in education, I can’t imagine not having a PLN. My PLN is a source of constant inspiration and a connection to people with the same passions. I never know what little treasures I might find.
Below is a list of some organizations, YouTubers, podcasts I follow, and conferences I attend. I will admit that I consume a lot of content; however, I don’t share my thoughts and ideas outside my campus and district. This is an area of growth that I hope to work on.
