Let's get virtual!
Google hangouts: This is an awesome way to connect with other classrooms or working professionals.
Periscope: It is an app on iPad or iPhone that allows you to stream live video and is connected to twitter. Videos are streamed live, but can be saved to your device after the broadcast is completed. Have you ever been out and about and thought "I would love for my students to see this?" Well if you streamed a periscope you could go back and share that with your students or post it instantly to twitter. You could use it to broadcast games, activities, student presentations, videos to help with homework, or delivering important news.
Airpano.com This awesome website has a ton of really cool aerial photos and 3D virtual tours for places all around the world. Learning about the arctic regions? Why not go on a virtual field trip to really explore the arctic regions.
Mystery Skype: Mystery Skype allows you to connect with a classroom from somewhere around the world. Teachers set up a Skype date with another teacher. Students then get to play the mystery Skype game. They have to use a series of questions to try and figure out where the other classroom is located.
Let's get connected! What's a PLN and how can I get started?
Pinterest- It is a great way to find, share, and organize fantastic teaching ideas and resources. How could you use pinterest to enhance you PLN? Many school districts use shared boards to connect teachers and share resources or ideas. One way we could use pinterest on our campus would be to set up shared boards for our PLCs. Each PLC could have a board where ideas, resources, videos could be shared easily across the campus.
Twitter- Twitter is an awesome free resource that teachers can use to connect globally. You can participate in twitter chats related to certain topics or simply lurk and observe all that occurs. You can really discover some awesome ideas and great professional development at your own convenience.
