Personal Learning Networks?
Coming to terms with Twitter
‘What started as a few language teachers 'tweeting' about what they were doing has become well over 100 from around the world. It's quite hard to comprehend
having a virtual staffroom of that many people with good ideas and opinions. It has led to
teachers publicising articles on their blogs which ordinarily I wouldn't have seen, I find out about events
for professional development that I wouldn't have known about, and it has, without doubt put me into
contact with some very influential educationalists who have taken time to give me guidance and advice.

One in three overwhelmed by technology
Findings
• Britons overwhelmingly viewed new technology such as mobile phones and social networks as a positive thing
• 38 per cent of 10-14 year olds felt that too much of it could be upsetting
• 34 per cent of 25-34 year olds reported feeling similarly.
• Young people, however, did not say that they favoured digital communication over face-to-face.
• 65 per cent of adults said they preferred communicating in person, the same was also true for 64 per cent of children.
We’re all in this together!
So close and yet so far!
The Mother of Invention - Make do and mend
teachers should develop their own personal learning network (PLN) using blogs, forums and social networking tools like Twitter. "There's a strong, vibrant, supportive community of teachers on Twitter, with many of them sharing resources and ideas,"
