My Personal Learning Network

It's funny, but for the longest time I didn't realize that my own personal curiosity and self-directed learning were really signs of my own Personal Learning Network (PLN). My PLN is centered around a variety of technology tools that keep me connected and up-to-date on a wide range of science and education topics.

My favorite tools for accessing (and sharing) my PLN include:

• Twitter
• Google Reader
• Flipboard and Zite apps (both free) on my iPad

I follow and subscribe to these great people, organizations, and resources:

• NASA Earth Observatory
• NASA Climate Change
• NOAA Climate Watch
• Penn State Climate Ethics
• Understanding Science
• sciencegeekgirl
• Free Technology for Teachers
• Information Is Beautiful
• Connected Principals
• The Innovative Educator
• For the Love of Learning
• Teach Paperless
• Dangerously Irrelevant

Give them a try—let me know if you like them or recommend others. There are many more, but these should keep you busy for awhile…
