This year I was new to Onshape. I am trying to learn as much as possible about this tool so that I can guide students to utilize it to its absolute potential. I am looking for workshops to participate in later this summer. I did see that I missed a recent opportunity. I will be following to stay up to date for any additional offerings.

I added the Onshape program Twitter feed to my PLN. This will help me to stay up to date with any program updates/changes in the future.
Conclusion
I feel that this week I was able to make some significant additions to my PLN. I was also able to find a Tweet that is relevant to my classroom content. I am hoping that in the future I will be able to find a Twitter chat or workshop that is relevant to the content I teach.
