PLN

I got a little lost in the business of a PLN because I think that I have already created it in a copy of areas but I am not sure how to place them all together. Right now all of my blogs are in google reader. Unfortunetly, come July 1st there will no longer be a Google Reader so again I am a little up the creek about what to do.

Livebinder is what I have been researching and what has put a hold on my continuing to the next steps of this class. I signed up for Livebinder and started playing around with it. As I explored it my first question is what is the difference between this and Evernote? Is there one?

I began to research that online and it seemed like the information I was getting was that people seem to use both. That didn't help. If I had to choose on interface alone I am more drawn to Evernote. But I don't want the interface of Evernote make me loose my distraction on using the best tool for my PLN.

At this point I think I am going to start putting resources into both and seeing which one is a more natural fit for me.

I don't want my PLN to be Instagram but I will use that as a resource. I am still thinking about having a PLN board on my Pinterest.

Regardless of all the questions of what is to come with the PLN I do want to share something fun that is happening on Instagram.

I am such a visual person. I need to see what a activity looks to get the whole idea in my head. This has been a really fun project on Instagram and I a way that I am inspired by teachers all over the country.

  1. I don't know that there is much difference between evernote and livebinder. I like livebinder just because for novices, it starts with the image of a 3 ring binder and is easy to use, and has many shared resources. But either works!
