PLN, what the heck is that?

A PLN is either your personal or professional learning network. This is all of your supports, resources and connections that help you work as a professional or is your personal web of connections.

Here is mine:



The PLN for the modern teacher is very different from teachers even 10 to 15 years ago. There is more focus on technology and connecting with people anywhere in the world easily. 

This is also true for students, their personal learning networks look very different from students 10 years ago. There is more social media, less paper sources and more connections with people all over the world.

  1. Hi Elizabeth
    The connected world you have constructed for yourself is much like mine and I am sure similar to most people in our class. I found that to build on the professional learning network we have started in this class we need to preserve our technological aptitude and continue blogging, twitting, trying new apps, and meeting new contacts. The benefit of a PLN, aside from the resources, is a way of connecting your teaching to other teachers and connecting more readily to your students.
