Our Focus: Professional Learning is enhanced with the use of technological innovation and communication technologies.  The ability to engage in networks that are world wide provide perspective and insight when engaging in networks that are system and school wide.
Our Learning Goals
1)  I will be able to explain how a PLN will benefit my professional learning.
2)  I will be able to articulate the differences between Blogs, PD360 and Twitter.
3)  I will offer one thought, idea or learning on the back channel.

Essential Question:
How does your behaviour with technology impact what students in your building do and learn?
If you are skeptical of how Tech-integration will impact critical thinking and deeper connections you not have yet engaged in tech-integration that develops your own critical thinking.
