    In reply to @kohane_haneko
  • MrsSamMitch Nov 2 @ 11:21 PM EDT

  • ginashelleyphd Nov 2 @ 11:21 PM EDT
    Q1 How do you define a PLN different from a Professional LN? #utedchat

    Q3: It’s easy to feel isolated in our own classroom. What is the benefit of reaching out to others outside of your district? #utedchat
  • bethsw555 Nov 2 @ 11:25 PM EDT
    It is a delicate balance. That is why I dissociated my Facebook/Tw from my actual name, and used aliases. #utedchat
