My PLN- Lauren Whittaker

1. Blogs

1.1. I love following principal and teacher blogs! Not only can they serve as a source of inspiration- they can be a place for comedic relief and camaraderie. Blogs allow us to connect and share. I look forward to reading entries and getting inspired- or having a stress- relieving laugh!

2. Instagram

2.1. Following fellow educators on Instagram is a way to connect, as well as to be inspired and motivated. Following various #hashtags allows us to expand our"world" and be connected to a far larger population- to let us "see" what is happening in other areas of the country and world.

3. TedTalks

3.1. TedTalks help us stay up to date on current trends and what's new. Innovation and inspiration at its finest- these talks not only help me as an educator, they help me as a person.

4. Pinterest

4.1. Instructional ideas, inspiration, visual brainstorming, dreaming and scheming when it comes to education. Some of our best ideas come from others- no need to reinvent the wheel.
