PLNs lead to learning,

discovery, & sharing

PLNs are great source of

support & ideas

My ‘pln’ keeps me in the

loop in terms of

new ideas,new technologies

new books

brainstorming &commiseration

broad spectrum of perspectives

understanding of library/edtech issues

Inspiration

I consider my PLN to be an instrumental

part of my continued

growth

How?

Minutes a day

Reading

Writing

Connecting

Tagging

Sharing

Immersion

afraid leaving will mean missed opportunities

Evaluating nodes and networks.....

The more you know the more you realize you don’t know .... afraid to

disconnect

Gaining Perspective

Finding the balance between

Living &

Learning

The best way that we can help our kids use social networks safely - ethically - effectively is to begin to do it for ourselves ....

We have to create our own personal learning networks as educators and we have to understand how the networks can have a profound impact on the way that we learn.
