May Issue of Project PLN: New Teacher Reflections

Kelly Tenkely2 Comments on May Issue of Project PLN: New Teacher Reflections2371 views

It has been quite a month and Project PLN is a little late to publish.  I want to send out a HUGE congratulations to Nick and his wife who welcomed their new baby boy Leo into the world.  What a cutie pie!  I have no idea how he managed to get any work done after meeting that sweet new arrival- could look at him for hours!  I have been busy starting a school– who knew that was so much work?! 🙂  Today Anastasis Academy was interviewed on a local radio show, you can listen to it here. Nick and I finally got it squared away and are excited to share it with all of you!

In May, we asked new teachers to share some lessons learned and reflections from the year.  I am reminded once again that no matter how many years we are in to our teaching journey, we always have something new to learn.  I hope that as you read reflections from these great educators, that you take the time to reflect on your year.  Celebrate success, learn from mistakes, find a way to grow.

Kelly Tenkely2 Comments on March Project PLN: The 21st Century Library2963 views

Hot off the press, the March issue of Project PLN is here! This month we focused on reading, we got fantastic posts about reading, 21st century libraries and media specialists.  This is a fantastic issue packed with great ideas and a clear passion for literacy.  We hope you enjoy the March issue and will contribute to the April issue!

For the April issue: Mistakes. We have all made them. Sometimes it is easy to forget about them and move on, but we feel that mistakes are an important part of what makes an educator. We tell students to learn from their mistakes because it will help them grow as a person. Educators are not different. We love to share are greatest success with the world, but sometimes our slips can provide support for all of the teachers out there who think they are the only one to make a mistake.  Share your learning with all of us by sending your posts (remember these can be re-posts you have already written.  Send us what you’ve got to projectpln10@gmail.com

@thenerdyteacher and I are still accepting posts for the March issue of Project PLN.  For March, we would love to hear from Librarians/Media/Reading Specialists. These roles have grown and changed over the past few years and we would love to hear how they impact education today. If you are a school librarian/media/reading specialist or have a story you would like to share about literacy or Read Across America, please contact us at @ProjectPLN or ProjectPLN10@gmail.com to share your thoughts with the rest of the PLN.

January Issue of Project #PLN Goals for the New Year

Kelly Tenkely2 Comments on January Issue of Project #PLN Goals for the New Year3197 views

The January Issue of Project PLN is here!  This issue was all about your educational goals for the new year.  We appreciate everyone sharing with us and meeting some new PLN faces.  I often get the question, how do I join a PLN (Personal Learning Network)?  It could not be easier, just interact with other educators on blogs through commenting, through conversation on Twitter, through connections on a Ning, or face to face.  As soon as you do any of those things you are considered part of the PLN! I suspect that ALL of you are part of a PLN in some capacity, even if it is just talking education in the teacher’s lounge over lunch. Enjoy meeting some new educator friends in this issue of Project PLN and be inspired by their goals for education this year!

It is October, which means the second issue of Project PLN!  In this issue, we asked educators to share their best practices for the start of the school year.  We got some great ideas, challenges, and suggestions from PLN members.  Take a look at the newest issue here or view the embedded version below.  I encourage you to get to know the contributing members of this month’s project PLN.  Connect with them via Twitter or through their blogs.   In the next issue we want to hear from administrators, what do you wish teachers knew about administration?  What suggestions do you have for teachers, parents, administration?  Give us an inside look at the world of the administrator.

Project PLN is an idea that @thenerdyteacher cooked up and asked if I would help with.  Of course I said yes!  If you are unfamiliar with Project PLN, you can read more about it and view the first issue here.  The second issue of Project PLN is set to come out October 12.  We would love to have your participation in it.  Take a look at October’s topic:

The start of the school year can be crazy for teachers, so we would like everyone to share how they manage the start of school. These could be posts about classroom organization and management or fun lessons that get the students ready for the rest of the year. If you have a post you would like to see published in the October issue of Project PLN, you can do so in a few ways. You can tweet out your post using the hashtag #ProjectPLN, you can email it to us directly at ProjectPLN10@gmail.com or you can post a link on our Facebook page. The deadline for the October issue is Saturday October 2. For those of you who like to plan ahead, the November issue is going to focus on the Administration side of education. If you are an Administrator, we would love to feature your posts. We will have more details in October. We look forward to reading all about your best practices.
