Below are some things I learned after reading the personal learning network projects tips for teachers:
Connect: Not only connect to the people you are trying to reach but also connect to different networks. By creating and becoming more connected in the virtual world, more people will follow and connect with the information you are trying to portray.
Contribute: Through research don't be afraid to contribute your thoughts about other posts. Also, it is important to share and ask questions through the connections made.
Converse: Don't be afraid to converse with other posts and people. By conversing with other posts and responses learning can happen.
Request: Once the connections are made through contributing and conversing to others online, it would be more likely your questions can be answered thoughtfully and thoroughly.
Blog, Tweet, Classroom 2, Google+: Use various types of sources to get your information out to the public.
Be Patient: Many people try to define themselves on the internet before they actually have an idea of who and what they want to portray. While trying to find an identity through the internet educators must understand it will not come easy so don't rush it!
Be Authentic: Be you! Many people are not true to their personality on the internet for many reasons. The most important tip the article recommended is be yourself. Do not be afraid to let your true colors shine through.
