Learning Networks
After reading 3 Steps for Building a Professional Learning Network (Crowley, 2014), I understand that this kind of networks help me to learn and improve, to have a broader perspective, and to connect with people with the same interests. All of this is very important because it contributes to see different points of view, learn from each other, and to learn how the technology or the education are going in different directions.

​I have been following Google for Education and Hour of Code for a long time. My experience has been taking information from them. With Hour of Code, I have helped to translate some materials but I have not contributed yet with some of my ideas or experiences.
Free Technology for Teachers
This site has information about free resources for teachers. It's an excellent place to find apps and tools that you can use to add technology to your lessons.
edWeb
"This site is to connect and share ideas to improve teaching and learning."
Here you can find different articles and webinars that will help you to learn and use best practices for your teaching.
Google for Education
"To help expand learning for everyone."
This is a place where you can find different products and ideas for teaching. We use Google in our district and it is really good for collaboration.
Edutopia
"Edutopia is a trusted source shining a spotlight on what works in education. We show people how they can adopt or adapt best practices, and we tell stories of innovation and continuous learning in the real world."
This is my favorite one. It posts at least two articles every day with research-based information and it really gives me a better view on education.
EdTech
The EdTech Magazine gives you the option to focus on K-12 or Higher Education. It provides you with the last articles on security, networking, tools for the classroom, use of data, and many others.
