Week 3 Reflection

 This was a week of exploration for me. I tried to become more of an active user, rather than a lurker on the various social media sites I use. It was interesting to see how my interactions varied and how my comfort levels increased. Prior to beginning this course, I much preferred to be a lurker in the background,  with the occasional message or comment exchange with someone I already knew. I look forward to continuing this journey and seeing what I other tools I can explore.

Another area I was able to reflect on this week was my personal learning networks. Looking over this week's readings I found several similarities in PLNs and communities of practice. Due to my profession, I belong to several different education related personal learning networks and often find them informative and interactive. While networking and interacting in groups was normally one of my strong suits, I've noticed that they have begun to take a lot of energy out of me. If anyone else has any networking tips or comments on PLNs, comment below!
