I'm in an Award Winning PLN!

12/20/2013

We won a highly sought after and enormously important EduBro Award for The Best Recreation of a Lego Representation of the #artsed PLN!
Now that is REALLY something!

Take a look below to learn more about how amazing art teachers are joining forces online to make learning more vibrant, creative, and exciting for their students by sharing ideas, advice, and problem-solving together. Follow them on Twitter and join the conversation!

Our award is announced at 17:47 mark in the video above. But watch the whole video hosted by @thenerdyteacher and @tgwynn for lots of laughs and to learn about some more cool people to add to your PLN!

OUR PLN STORY: It all began on twitter when super art teachers began joining forces (we have a collaborative song too. Listen here) to create a wonderful virtual place to grow and share. One day, Stacy Lord made this picture representing a bunch of us using Lego people wearing the super shirts featuring our twitter handle purchased via ink pixie. We had a tweet up one morning during our National Art Education Conference and posed for the photo to recreate the lego recreation. I'm fuglefun (with the hat).
