ISTE-L 5: Connected Learner

Purpose
This space documents how I build and contribute to a professional learning network (PLN) to improve practice and student learning. I’m focusing on finding credible voices, engaging in conversations, and translating what I learn into classroom ideas.

What you’ll find

  • PLN artifacts (who I follow, why they matter, key takeaways)

  • Short summaries of expert posts and how they inform my practice

  • Examples of classroom-ready routines for ethical, creative AI use

Featured artifacts

  • PLN Project, Part 1: Topic, platforms, and goals

  • PLN Project, Part 2: Expert summaries and group reflection

How I’ll evaluate progress

  • Consistent PLN activity (weekly adds, saves, or notes)

  • Evidence of “learn → try → reflect” cycles in my projects

  • Clear attribution and brief “How I used AI/PLN” notes on artifacts

Reflection prompts

  • What did my PLN change about my next lesson or artifact?

  • Which expert’s idea did I try, and what happened?

  • Where do I still need different perspectives?

Access & openness

  • Links open in new tabs; screenshots or PDF clips added when platforms are private
