stages of pln adoption

on which networks you really want to focus your time on
• you begin feeling a sense of urgency and try to figure out a way to “know it all”

stages of pln adoptionstage 3 “know it all”: • find that you are spending many hours trying to learn
everything you can• realize there is much you do not know and feel like you
can’t disconnect• this usually comes with spending every waking minutes
trying to be connected to the point that you give up sleep and contact with others around you to be connected to your networks of knowledge

stages of pln adoptionstage 4 perspective:
• start to put your life into perspective • usually comes when you are forced to
leave the network for awhile and spend time with family and friends who are not connected

stages of pln adoptionstage 5 balance: • try and find that balance between learning and
living• understanding that you can not know it all, and
begin to understand that you can rely on your network to learn and store knowledge for you
• a sense of calm begins as you understand that you can learn when you need to learn and you do not need to know it all right now
