This space in my school presents three modular and adaptable environments according to the educational and teaching needs, a reading area (with sofas and notebook charging) and a touch screen monitor:

I would like to transform my classroom into a homelike environment, but I think that now it is not possible because in my school teachers usually change classrooms every hour.

In order to become more responsible people, it's very important that students change their (not always good) behaviour and share duties in the classroom, creating a comfortable environment.

SOCIAL MEDIA FOR TEACHERS.
Usually social media is a way to stay in touch with friends and family, and it's the ideal medium to share life's major details. But many teachers, myself included, have found another way to make social media work — by using Facebook groups, Twitter chats and Instagram posts to share ideas, resources and insight with a large network of like-minded educators.
It would be very useful having recourse to social medias because it's teacher-facilited, it's convenient, and it's self-direct.

Want meaningful teacher PD? Try social media.

Admittedly, the idea of professional development via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram may seem a bit odd at first. Sure, social media is a handy way to stay in touch with friends and family, and it's the ideal medium to share life's major (and not-so-major) details - so that's where your vacation shots, gym selfies and dog photos come in.

But many teachers, myself included, have found another way to make social media work - by using Facebook groups, Twitter chats and Instagram posts to share ideas, resources and insight with a vast network of like-minded educators.

While administrators might raise an eyebrow at the inclusion of social media on a professional development log, there are 3 major reasons why social media is actually the ideal medium for teacher PD: it's teacher-facilitated, convenient and self-directed.

Hands down, some of the best PD sessions I've been to have been those led by teachers themselves. There's something inherently powerful about teachers sharing their experiences and expertise with other teachers.

Let's face it: we've all been to PD sessions that we felt were less than productive for one reason or another - and there's not much worse than that stinging feeling of wasted time. No matter how well-intentioned, a lecture from someone who doesn't fully understand our needs or classroom dynamics is likely to have little long-term impact on our overall professional growth.

This is precisely why opportunities for teacher-facilitated PD is so important, and exactly what social media enables us to do.

Social media's most basic function is to share and connect with others, so it's only natural that teachers - lifelong learners with a passion for helping others - would find a way to harness its collective power for the good of all.

Meaningful professional development is an ongoing process, but it doesn't have to be a chore. Social media equips teachers with on-demand access to ideas and advice from fellow educators, which makes the learning process much more convenient and accessible.

Curious about a new tech tool or classroom management strategy? Social media's got your back. No matter what time of day, an Instagram search of #flexibleseating or #classroomlibrary will yield thousands of swoon-worthy visuals, while a quick post in a teacher-focused Facebook group can harness the collective knowledge of teachers across the globe.

For example, earlier this year I did some research (read: googling) on audiobook listening strategies. I posted this inquiry in my favorite secondary language arts Facebook group, and dozens of thoughtful responses arrived within minutes. At the tips of my fingersa growing collection of helpful ideas, resources, photos and website recommendations. The notifications poured in, various conversations ensued, and I learned some great new strategies that I was able to apply in my classroom the following day.

That's pretty productive for an evening on Facebook.

Social media allows teachers to connect with teachers who similar interests and goals, which means we're able to choose what we want to learn and when. Teachers taking ownership over their own learning and professional growth? Sounds like a pretty great idea to me.

Looking to learn more about EdTech tools, engaging writing strategies or breakout rooms? Want to connect with other educators from your state or region? There's a Facebook group, Twittter chat or Instagram hashtag for that.

A simple Facebook search will reveal teacher groups for every grade level, subject area and specialty imaginable. From there, you can find information using keywords in the group search feature or by opening up a new conversation on the group wall.

You can also hop on a Twitter chat, which are held by various education groups on a regular basis and generally centered around a particular topic. To learn more about Twitter chats, check out my friend Kelsey's post: How to Participate in a Twitter Chat: For Teachers.

If you're looking to learn more about using Instagram, check out Kelsey's post: The Top 20 Instagram Hashtags: For Teachers
So next time you're scrolling through your Facebook or Instagram feed past yet another baby photo or engagement shoot, take a minute to check out some teacher groups or hashtags instead. You'll be surprised at the availability of information, and you might just make a few awesome teacher friends while you're at it.

PLN - Personal Learning Network
“A Personal Learning Network is a way of describing the group of people that you connect with to learn their ideas, their questions, their reflections, and their references. Your PLN is not limited to online interactions, but it is that online, global interactive part that really makes it special. It is personal because you choose who’s part of that group; you choose if you want to lurk–just check out what people are saying–or if you share; because you choose when to do so, and how to do so.”
So, in my opinion, Professional Learning Network is a natural extension of the way people learn–by connecting with others who have shared interests, ideas, or resources.
We connect with different people with unique expertise using varied tools for authentic and constantly changing purposes.

Formal education – Organized, guided by a formal curriculum, leads to a formally recognized credential such as a high school completion diploma or a degree, and is often guided and recognized by government at some level. Teachers are usually trained as professionals in some way.
Non-formal learning – This type of education may be led by a qualified teacher or by a leader with more experience. Though it doesn’t result in a formal degree or diploma, non-formal education is highly enriching and builds an individual’s skills and capacities. Continuing education courses are an example for adults. Girl guides and boy scouts are an example for children. It is often considered more engaging, as the learner’s interest is a driving force behind their participation.
Informal learning – The teacher is simply someone with more experience such as a parent, grandparent or a friend. A father teaching his child to play catch or a babysitter teaching a child their ABC’s is an example of informal education.
