Thing 4: Twitter, Facebook & Personal Learning Networks
I chose Thing 4 for my next exploration: Twitter, Facebook and PLN’s as I am trying to set up a Twitter for my library and it is very slow. I currently take an average of ten minutes per tweet (I think) and I’m still not sure I am doing it right! I was excited to see this as an offering as I want to show parents and students what is going on in our library and am not really sure what the best way to do that is. ….ooh already distracted, clicked on the Librarians Without Borders google community! How did I now know about this??? I appreciated the articles on the PLNS. As part of my library classes we looked at these, but looking back I realize I clicked willy-nilly and ended up being overwhelmed. The tips provided helped me to focus on the PLN’s I really wanted to be part of and I find I am able to use them and get more from them then before. One of my favorite quotes was from the article where 5 educators talked about how PLN’s help them and Lisa Dabbs said: Lisa Dab
