ABSTRACT

It is important to model for our students how to become connected and be responsible global citizens. This chapter discusses the importance of teachers becoming connected themselves so that they can network with passionate educators all around the world. Teachers can use Edmodo, Twitter, and Twitter hashtags to build strong global PLNs (personal or professional learning networks) that will enable them to connect, share, and learn with passionate teachers, administrators, community members, and parents, as well as others interested in education. Such tools will also provide educators with the opportunity to connect their students with the world.
