Measurement

Public

Discussion:

Kelly,

You are the first participant to raise the idea of measuring the effectiveness of helping students engineer their PLN with intent and purpose. I think the idea of being the architects of our own learning networks and using social media as a means to do this presents tremendous opportunity for students to enhance their professional development and networking strategies. I am excited to hear that you plan on measuring this. You can even get your students/graduates off to a great start by suggesting who you think they should consider for their PLNs. I am curious, will you be designing your own PLN for yourself and what will you focus on? Additionally, will you be advocating that your colleagues do the same? I just created a handout for Career Services professionals and you are welcome to download it - there is a particular area of the document that provides a small sample of people to follow on Twitter in various topics. It might help you to help students get started building their PLNs. You can view it here: http://lwire.us/?l=KZFM.

Robert.
