  Using social mediato create your own professional development and PLN My presentation will consider the importance as an educator of developing a personal learning network (PLN) and the ways social media can contribute to your own professional development. Drawing upon the weekly Learning and Teaching in HE twitter chat (known as #LTHEchat) as an exemplar, I will share what members of this community have valued as participants and for some being volunteer members of the LTHEchat organising team. https://xot.futureteacher.eu/play.php?template_id=4#socialmedia

  “The community ofpractice that you have led has given me an opportunity to interact with many people in the UK and globally, and leads me to all sorts of really useful resources.” Professor Phil Race “The #LTHEchat has given me a fantastic opportunity to expand and develop my personal learning network. It has also challenged me to consider what I do and more importantly why? Being part of the organising team has given me the opportunity to learn new technical and organisational skills. The #LTHEchat also provides a perfect platform to highlight and celebrate innovative practice.” Suzanne Faulkner

  “For me beingfinding and taking part in the #LTHEchat has been absolutely instrumental in my professional development. As a participant I learn something new every time and also get the opportunity to connect with and meet new people through a shared love of learning and teaching. This has in turn led to many opportunities that I wouldn’t have had other wise such as working collaboratively with colleagues from other institutions.” Deb Baff “#LTHEchat means everything - it is a pedagogical lifeline, an awesome community, an inspiration and a friendship place.” Danielle Hinton

  “Interacting with the#LTHEChat has helped me meet and work with many people I would not otherwise have encountered. Your leadership of the community has been paramount because you have fostered this lively interaction of the practitioners with warmth, intelligence and humanity.” Professor Sally Brown “I meet some lovely people, I get free CPD and when I was an #LTHEchat guest I got the opportunity to showcase my work on a national stage and went on to mentor an organising team - all of that supported my own CPD and I included a paragraph about the chat in my NTF application.” Dr Dawne Irving-Bell

  “#LTHEchat is mycounsel, my conscience and my community.” Professor Simon Lancaster "I wouldn't have the knowledge now without being part of the #LTHEchat community. It has supported my journey from being a student to now as an academic - what I value the most is the network, the opportunity to ask questions, often the most naive questions where I wouldn't have normally asked otherwise, and being in conversations with those who have inspired me to keep going!“ Kiu Sum
