The Educator's PLN

The Educator's PLN (or personal learning network) is a great resource to help educators connect on the web. In order to join this site, you must first sign up and then be approved by the administrators. When creating your account, you can also link other accounts into the network, such as your twitter, diigo, and linkedin profiles.

There are a lot of helpful resources on The Educator's PLN, including a chat forum for teachers to discuss their struggles and successes in the classroom, links to teacher podcasts and education blogs, and various advice articles related to teaching.

As someone who is new to twitter, I found one particular resource useful. Under the Resources tab, there is a list of twitter hashtags related to education!  I am sure that I will make use of this list to help me get the most out of twitter in my professional future.  There are also plenty of articles being shared by teachers in this network every day, which means that I can go to this site whenever a question arises in my classroom--since someone else is bound to have experienced the same problem!
While I haven't exhausted the possibilities that The Educators PLN has to offer to teachers as of yet, as I haven't been fully approved by the admins, I can already see how helpful this site will be--not only for connecting specifically on this website but also for intertwining the networks of all the accounts I have set up for this class so far.
