My 10 week challenge

Do you want to?:

• stay in touch with the latest educational discussions
• learn about learning technology quickly and easily
• build your Professional Learning Network (PLN) in your school and beyond

Then you might want to follow me on my '10 Week Challenge'. My challenge may not deliver a dream job or  a hot body for the beach this summer, like the infomercials on TV. It may however, help you develop a fantastic PLN of like minded educators. Well that is what I am hoping for.

I am relatively new to Social Media. I joined Twitter and Facebook in 2012 and I guess I was a 'lurker' (watching the conversations but not participating), accessing content occasionally and wondering what all the fuss was about. Recently I have started to engage with Social Media more and the advantages are becoming more apparent. So that I continue to explore the advantages of this communication platform I have set a few goals for myself in term 4:

1. Tweet at least once a day about our school
2. Participate in a Twitter chat(s)
3. Create a blog and post at least ten times during the term
4. Connect with people outside of my school, build a PLN, and learn new things
5. Share what I learn with our staff and post it on my blog in week 10 of term

You can follow me on twitter @CraigMEdwards_ . I will report back about my personal challenge week 10.
