Professional Learning Network
Build Your Professional Learning Network with FETC
FETC has multiple opportunities for attendees to build their Professional Learning Network, before during and after the conference. FETC can help you collaborate with colleagues from around the world year-round and help you build a network of professional educators to continue learning and sharing experiences. Communicate, collaborate and connect year-round using the FETC Community and social media, then once a year meet face-to-face at FETC to maximize your educational technology learning!
Social Media Connections
Social Networking at FETC is powered by Edmodo. Join our FETC Community on Edmodo (www.edmodo.com/fetc) where participants share resources, post updates and videos. FETC Conference Presentation Materials and all Session Evaluations can also be found at the FETC Community. Participants contribute product information, curriculum ideas and much more!
Network and tweet live on Twitter @FETC (event hashtag #FETC) during and after the conference. Like us on Facebook too; both are great ways to find out how others are learning, teaching and sharing real life examples of how technology continues to improve education.
Many participants share resources, professional articles, teaching ideas, share product information, and post meet ups to gather and learn from people in your personal learning network!
