    Social Networking Tools for your “PLN”

    View the commoncraft show presentation called Social Networking in Plain English at
    YouTube and then TeacherTube     http://teachertube.com
    Watching video creations from others is an excellent way to offer professional development
    on a topic such as how to make a Flash movie.

    I often use You Tube or Teacher Tube for the “tuning in” or at the beginning of a topic with my classes. Unfortunately these items are blocked across our school network so any videos I need must be downloaded to my computer prior to needing them for a class and students are unable to access tutorials or “how to” videos which is unfortunate as there are many excellent resources available.
    Recently I was asked to facilitate to some professional development for our staff on the value of using technology in education and I downloaded a great video on 21st Century Skills and presented it to the staff.  Using a video is a great way to spark thoughts and ideas on a topic and this one was no exception and it helped initiate some excellent discussion on the topic.
    I found this particular video well described by its title and a clear and concise, plain language video to describe succinctly, how social networking works.
