• Reflect on the CPD potential of Social Media

• Consider a range of tools to develop your PLN

• Develop strategies for effective professional networking

What is Social Media?

“Social media” is media designed to be disseminated through social interaction, created using Internet and web-based technologies to transform broadcast media monologues (one to many) into social media dialogues (many to many).

It supports the democratization of knowledge and information, transforming people from content consumers into content producers. (Wikipedia)

What is Social Media?

Effective way to present your own ideas and resources integrating multimedia (pictures, audio, video) and social interaction (sharing, getting comments from other people).

Threats and opportunities:*Reputation*Child protection/bullying*Time

An extended community of

people that you can

interact with regularly

A personally chosen collection of resources you can go to when you want to learn something

What is a PLN?

Personal Learning Network

How can your PLN support you?

•By sharing ideas with teachers that may have tried similar activities before: practicalities, pitfalls

•By providing examples of ready-made and tried-and-tested resources

•By providing an interaction with a worldwide audience

•By providing a source of advice, support and peer-to-peer training for language teachers

But you need to support your PLN too…
