What is a
ProfessionalLearning
Network?

Personal Learning Networks consist of the people a learner interacts with and derives knowledge from in a Personal Learning Environment… Learners create connections and develop a network that contributes to their professional development and knowledge. The learner does not have to know these people personally or ever meet them in person.

Let’s Dig A Little Deeper
The Personal: ...making connections and building personal relationships with
teachers, school administrators, university
professors, and experts around the world.
No matter where you are in the world, there’s
always someone online available to answer
questions, share their expertise,
and simply chat about what’s happening
in their lives and classrooms.

The Learning: …sharing ideas and resources, collaboration,
and learning. We may share our
learning, ideas and expertise in different
ways; using different media
and tools, but the essence is the
same:
the PLN is simply the best professional
development you will ever participate in – and
it’s available 24/7.http://teacherchallenge.edublogs.org/2011/06/18/pln-challenge-2-what-is-it-that-you-want-to-knowImage Source: Flickr via Sarah G
The Network:The defining feature of
the PLN is that it is a global learning network,
enabling people to tap into and share diverse, global perspectives on
teaching strategies, educational issues, and
technologies. It takes time and effort to build these connections, but
it’s well worth the effort.http://teacherchallenge.edublogs.org/2011/06/18/pln-challenge-2-what-is-it-that-you-want-to-knowImage Source: http://www.morguefile.com/archive/display/581323

“I’m constantly amazed at how many people feel the need to criticize Twitter - it’s superficial, it’s useless, it’s boring, you can’t say anything useful in 140 characters, and so on… Never one to be influenced by the crowd, I signed up.”

"I have found more resources and got more useful advice for
professional development in 3 months on Twitter than in the
previous 5 years without it."
