Useful because you can choose to follow like minded educators or people with the same educational interests as yourself. Comments on the resources help you decide to use or follow a link/resource. Any new information is updated so i can access it through those I follow. Today signed in and created a profile photo for Bernadette Hall. Following several others. 12 August Pond PD-Lynley Following several more and learned how to add a website/address from the community. This site is being updated and added too al the time as we all add to it. Information is quick to source and retrieve if looking for ideas on topics etc. It is specific and relevent. Lynley showed us how to do this.
