1. Amy Wilson’s PLN Effective Practices in Teaching and Learning, Part II - JHU Spring 2013

2. Introduction  Write about why you created it (besides HAVING to create it for this assignment) and how it will benefit you and, ultimately, your students.

3. Blogs and News To push beyond my comfort level with blogs (bullet 1), I finally decided it was time to start using a blog reader so all of the things I read are in one place, and so that I have a place to put new blogs I discover besides bookmarking them. I decided to use FEEDLY.

4. More about Feedly Learning how to use Feedly increased by tech savvy (bullet 2) by making me have to learn the different ways I can add blogs (importing them from google reader, using the feedly site to add them, using links on blog sites to add them). It has enhanced my READINESS (bullet 4) by making it much easier to access resources that make me a better teacher. My learning is increased because I can stay more up-to-date with Education Policy blogs which is information I can use in teaching my School Reform Class. This will help keep my students up-to-date too! (bullet 3)

5. AT least three more sites in three different categories  Refer back to directions that list the 4 bullets that need to write about for each site, in addition to your overview of how you used it.  I labeled them in my write up, but you should NOT do this. I should be able to tell when you are addressing each.

6. Conclusion  A summary of your overall experience in building your PLN and your plans for further use and expansion
