| Abstract | This paper explores, educators' use of technology to supplement traditional professional development that they may receive in their schools or institutions. Many educators in the 21st century use various forms of technology as part of their daily teaching practices and as part of their personal lives. This paper sets out to explore the impact of a weekly education-focused Twitter chat on educators' professional learning. The authors also set out to identify a weekly educational Twitter chat as a Virtual Professional Learning Network (VPLN). They identify a VPLN as a uniquely personalized space where participants can engage in dialogue with a network of individuals from around the world via social media platforms such as Twitter (and other social media platforms) to support one another's continuous professional learning. Garrison (2007) describes an online PLN as a synchronous or asynchronous online platform for individuals to collaboratively engage in critical thinking and discussions around specific issues (Trinkle, 2009).
