"This is an online community for elementary teachers to exchange ideas, activities and resources. "
"Creating and enhancing your personal learning network to empower your profession learning"
LearnCentral is a new social learning network for education, sponsored by Elluminate. More than a social network or a learning community, this free, open environment represents the next logical step of combining asynchronous social networking and the ability to store, organize, and find educational resources with the live, online meeting and collaboration provided by Elluminate technology.
Not just for Elluminate customers, LearnCentral is for any educator who is passionate about teaching and learning and wants to find and connect with like-minded colleagues to share content, develop best practices, and collaborate on a global level. While still in its early stages, LearnCentral has the potential to make a significant historical difference in how educators work together for professional development in their own careers.
As educators, we know that learning takes place every day and everywhere. But with the need for information and expertise in all sorts of related and unrelated fields these days, we just can't learn quickly or deeply enough to satisfy personal or professional demands. Consider the following approaches most people take:
In September 2008 I created a list of 100+ learning professionals to follow on Twitter. This grew into the Twitter Directory (now renamed Connexions: Directory of Learning Professionals Online). But here is my selection of 100 learning professionals that will provide you with information, inspiration and/or interaction on a range of educational and workplace learning topics from around the world - via their blog, on Twitter or on other social networks. Listed in alphabetical order by surname together with their Top 10 Tools for Learning (where contributed).
Welcome! This is a website we can build together to help educators explore Web 2.0.
It's easy!
Great post on the different stages people go through when developing a PLN
Michelle Krill's PLN Wiki page - nice collection of resources and tips for establishing and maintaining a PLN
Wouldn’t it be just awesome if all teachers had a “Magic Eight Ball” that we could turn to every time we had a question about instructional practice, technology or learning theory? It would provide resources, anecdotal experiences, practical application, and much more. Through the connective and collaborative power of online technologies we have access to a vast and vibrant network of educators that are infinitely more qualified than a Magic Eight Ball to provide ongoing, timely support and encouragement. Learn to Power Up your professional learning network with customized and interactive Web 2.0 applications.
Those who constantly strive to learn more from the world around them, who can’t pass up an opportunity to pour over a book or dictionary, or who take classes just to learn a bit more are a special breed. For those with an iPhone, the chances for learning just got a lot greater. No matter if you love literature, science, nature, arts, foreign languages and travel, medicine, or Christian studies, there are apps that will enhance your ability to expand your knowledge base.
Connect, Share, Find - Free
Connect with other teachers, find teaching material, share resources.
The aim of this site is to help you gain the skills to build your own personal learning network (PLN)!

PLNs increase our opportunities to ask questions and receive help compared to our normal daily face-to-face interactions.
