PLN

My current PLN is a very basic one that pretty much sums up my day-to-day life currently. I used Portaportal to help me categorize what I do daily and it allowed me to post the links to my most used websites to see it visually. It turns out that a PLN is like a personal mapping device so that the user can prioritize what they need to get done, or to use to see what they are currently getting done. For myself, I have websites such as Facebook, Blogger, South Alabama, and a few craft websites listed. I do my school work right now as what I would consider my full-time job, and then when I'm done with my work for the day I relax with a craft, baking a dish, or socialize with friends. So for me, my PLN includes my job, and my hobbies. I have also included Dr. Paige Baggett's blog in my PLN because she was a former instructor of mine, and because she was very influential to me. She has helped me in so many ways to build wonderful ideas of ways I can incorporate art into the everyday classroom. i love art so much, it is such a huge part of my life, and with what I have learned from her I am so much more eager to use art in my future classroom with students of any age! I plan on using my PLN more and more to map out the road of my educator career!
