 * We Connect** is a GREAT Wiki created by Shelly Terrell, with lots of information about many social media tools for teachers: Why do we connect? (the video at the beginning of my presentation is from this wiki!).

Nik Peachey recently conducted a workshop on this same topic--building a PLN. He shared his presentation and many of the resources he demonstrated on his blog, Nik's Learning Technology Blog.

After you've created a Twitter account, "follow" my account (@barbsaka). Send me a message and I will introduce you to other teachers (Example: I just joined Twitter and am excited to connect with other teachers!).

You can also follow all of the teachers you saw in the presentation by going to Tweepml (Starter PLN List): media type="custom" key="7000589"
