What are Personal Learning Networks (PLN)? How can they help you as a teacher? How are they formed? How can you create your own PLN? Who will be the first additions to your PLN?
In the past week I have been working on creating my Personal Learning Network and figuring out who I want to be a part of my network. A Personal Learning Network (PLN) is a connection with people virtually and can be around the world and allows you to learn new things. A Personal Learning Network allows one to connect with many different people, places, organizations, etc. by using tools such as Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and Youtube. when forming a PLN one finds that the Personal Learning Network allows you to communicate, connect, and collaborate many different things to and from their network. My PLN consists of many of the connections that I have made through Twitter and through blogging. These connections help better my knowledge by allowing me to learn new information and experiences. The PLN has given me a lot more websites to go to and more blogs to read about different things that interest me.
Lauren, I started working on my PLN this week too as well. It was interesting learning about how to gather useful resources. I decided to use symbaloo as a way to put all my resources in one place. Also, great image to include on your blog. The image really explains PLNs well.
