A Social Educator embraces networks of teachers and learners to create academic value. Your PLN connects pupils to expertise. You enable learners to form networks to generate new sources of innovation, foster creativity, and establish greater reach and exposure to new educational opportunities. You establish a foundational level of trust across these learning networks and, thus, a willingness to openly share information. You empower these networks with the collaborative, gaming and analytical tools needed for members to engage each other and creatively solve educational challenges. A key element to the success of a Social Networking is trust. First, you need a certain level of trust to empower yourself to share your ideas and expertise – and you must demonstrate this trust by rewarding the behavior. By the same token, you must trust your network to maintain an open dialogue with them.

Follow your heart when you network and you will be empowered by your social network.
