My Plan to Create an Effective PLC by Karen Johnson https://padlet.com/karen_johnson10/x6t2pj4078z8 We are better together! en-us 2018-03-29 03:28:22 UTC 2025-04-27 00:55:09 UTC hello@padlet.com Collaboration and Social Media https://padlet.com/karen_johnson10/x6t2pj4078z8/wish/267036483 Collaboration is about people and process, not the platform or technology. 

Educators making ill-advised posts interactions occurred at offline hours. ]]> 2018-06-13 15:12:14 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_johnson10/x6t2pj4078z8/wish/267036483 The PLC Process Is Still the Focus https://padlet.com/karen_johnson10/x6t2pj4078z8/wish/267037451 Every collaborative team in a PLC must constantly link its work back to the mission, vision, collective commitments, and goals that serve as the foundation of the PLC process.]]> 2018-06-13 15:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_johnson10/x6t2pj4078z8/wish/267037451 Ask for Clarification and Deeper Analysis https://padlet.com/karen_johnson10/x6t2pj4078z8/wish/267037536 Provide feedback to motivate and engage participants fully

*Ask for clarification*
asking for clarification or further
illustrations can strengthen the dialogue

Team members should not seek clarification
or ask for a deeper analysis if they really don’t want it.]]> 2018-06-13 15:18:50 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_johnson10/x6t2pj4078z8/wish/267037536 Maintain Appropriate Commentary Length https://padlet.com/karen_johnson10/x6t2pj4078z8/wish/267038433 Remember the purpose of the online PLC and make sure to stay on topic. When posts are lengthy, participants will either not read it or think that the author is trying to dominate the discussion. There are other platforms such as blogs and social media to share lengthy opinions. It is a good rule of thumb to limit responses to 2 to 3 paragraphs in a virtual learning space.]]> 2018-06-13 15:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_johnson10/x6t2pj4078z8/wish/267038433 Share Sources and Links/Avoid Declarations of Right or Wrong https://padlet.com/karen_johnson10/x6t2pj4078z8/wish/267040079 It is always necessary to share. One teacher may have resources that he or she has found that are invaluable in his or her teaching while another teacher has another set of resources. By sharing, they can mutually benefit.

Experimentation and open-mindedness are also imperative. Surprising things often happen in which a strategy that, at first glance, did not appear to be helpful winds up being invaluable. Alternatively, strategies that seemed as though they would be awesome wind up not working well at all.]]> 2018-06-13 15:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_johnson10/x6t2pj4078z8/wish/267040079 Virtual Collaborative Space Is Not Hack Proof https://padlet.com/karen_johnson10/x6t2pj4078z8/wish/267040570 Always be mindful of what you are posting or sharing with technology. It is always a possible risk that an outside individual can gain access to personal information that you are sharing. Students can also potentially hack in and see their future tests. ]]> 2018-06-13 15:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_johnson10/x6t2pj4078z8/wish/267040570 Make Connections, then Collaborate https://padlet.com/karen_johnson10/x6t2pj4078z8/wish/267040761 Connections are vital in PLCs before collaborating or discussing student data in an orderly manner. Easy ways to do this are first names, polite tone, and keeping interactions short and simple. ]]> 2018-06-13 15:36:54 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_johnson10/x6t2pj4078z8/wish/267040761 Ask Meaningful Questions https://padlet.com/karen_johnson10/x6t2pj4078z8/wish/267040783 When utilizing a virtual PLC platform, it is beneficial to ask your colleagues clarifying questions about their posts or opinions. Often, writings can be misinterpreted or not understood, so by asking for clarification you are showing your colleague that you are interested in their ideas, while also gaining more knowledge about their suggestion(s). However, you should not ask questions or fake interest in a post that is not relevant or engaging, just to be polite.
