Refining My PLN

Hi,

The three Blogs that I have added to my PLN are as follows:

Mystery Science: Lessons for elementary teachers - https://mysteryscience.com
Mystery Science offers hands on lessons that inspire students to learn and love science.

Reading Centers for Upper Elementary - www.teachingtoinspire.com/2016/
This Blog offers pratical, real-world teaching resources to inspire teachers and help motivate students to learn. Additionally, this Blog would help me tremendously in the future because it offers techniques and information that can be used immediately.

Social Studies for Kids Grades K-5 - www.kids.usa.gov/social-studies/index
This Blog allows students to stay up to date with events that are happening in the world around them. Furthermore, this blog provides students with added resources and/or activities to help them learn about geography and the countries and cultures of the world.

Experts in my content area to follow on Twitter are:

Scott Baldridge- @ScottBaldridge

EdSurge- @EdSurgeVerified account

EdSurge helps educators to find & use the right tools to support all learning styles.

So far this semester I haven't used many of the tools that we have learned about. The one tool that I do used often is my RSS reader. I really like this tool because all my Blogs are sent to one email and I can read from that one email throughout the day. Since there are so many technological tools that can be used to gather information, my goal is to at least be more comfortable using two additional tools prior to the end of the semester.
