Teachers are constantly under time and curriculum constraints which is why online networking can be such an important way for professional development. Creating time to network with other teachers will ultimately help you become a better teacher. You'll be able to share information and resources with other teachers who are devoted and passionate about teaching and perhaps learn a bit about yourself along the way.
Successful online networking can also ultimately lead to productive collaboration, which is how I found my co-author for the book we are currently writing. Here are 21 ways to broaden your online professional teacher network, which can help you save time and maximize your curriculum.
