Journal # 4- “Join
the Flock” and “Enhance Your Twitter Experience”
Summary- In the article “Join the Flock,” describes
the benefits of taking part in a PLN community. It is a great idea to connect
with other professionals through social networks. Twitter is a great place for
educators to interact with other teachers. In this social network teachers can ask
for support or share teaching strategies that enhance student learning. In the
article “Enhance Your Twitter Experience,” I
learned how easy is to use and manage a Twitter account. You can collaborate
and share useful information with colleagues from other parts of the world. She
also shared that thanks to Twitter, she had the opportunity to meet important
professionals that presented in her classroom. She shared a formula that tells
you how much input one should put in Twitter in a regular basis, 70% of the
time should be spent in sharing information from other people, 20% of the time
should be spent on commenting and making opinions about different issues and
the last 10% chi-chatting with other people.

advantages of using PLN?

when you get involved in a PLN community you have the advantage of learning
from different professionals. You have the opportunity to interact with people
from all over the world and share your thoughts about different issues that
