This is an interesting topic for me. I have been challenged to use Twitter to create a PLN (personal learning network). I am not a fan of twitter, even though I have an account. I have had an account since 2009 and have made a total of 28 tweets. So, I am clearly not an active twitter user. While I am not a big fan, I am willing to give it a try in order to develop a personal learning network. I guess I still qualify as a twitter newbie because I just never use it. While I understand the premise, I just never thought it was as useful as other media sites, such as Facebook.
My plan is start using twitter to keep up with the social media surrounding college teaching and the field of science. I have started following several people and organizations in order to grow my personal learning network. Hopefully these will give me tips and help me progress through the world of online education in the sciences. I also started following many science sites that I keep up with in other social media outlets. I am a big fan of keeping up with current research in Microbiology, so I have started to keep up with them on Twitter.

I will continue to find interesting people and organizations to follow that will help contribute to and grow my PLN as well as keep up with various scientific interests and pursuits. I will embrace this challenge and try to use a new tool (at least a new tool for me), to keep up with trends in education and trends in the biological sciences.
Feel free to follow me on twitter. While it is a little bland now, I plan to be more active and interesting in the near future.
