How would you like to take part in discussions and guide your own learning with colleagues and experts on your own time, wherever you are - a cruise ship, at the office, or on your patio? Though Twitter may not be new to most of you, using it to enhance your learning and build your professional network might be something to explore. Here are some ways you can get started:
Growing Your PLN (Professional Learning Network)
Follow and connect with people around ideas, problems of practice and further interests. When I attended an iNACOL conference this past year, I was able to stay connected with new found colleagues from the conference. When I have questions concerning my scope of work, I can quickly reach out to the group and solicit advice.
Articles Vetted by Colleagues & Experts
In addition to using search engines, try using Twitter to explore and gather research and other articles of interest.
