Timely Tech--A PLN Starter Kit on LiveBinders

I love it when the universe syncs up by bringing me just what I need when, or even right before, I know I need it.

Today I found this PLN starter kit by blogger-librarian Jennifer LaGarde, via NeverEndingSearch, an especially awesome blog out of School Library Journal. Breadcrumbs, breadcrumbs, breadcrumbs!

It's a handy listing of blogs, twitter feeds, and other resources compiled and written by classroom teachers, administrators, teacher-librarians, technology specialists, and others, and a great place to discover other great sources for my PLN. (I'd say "your PLN," but I'm pretty sure for now it's just me here, and anyway I need to work on mine before I tell anybody else how to do theirs.)

One of my favorite posts is Gwenyth Jones of The Daring Librarian about how she decides whose Twitter to follow. It's a great walk-through of how exactly to go about starting to find people whose ideas can support your PLN, not overwhelm it.

Enjoy!
