Blog Post 5




PLNs What Are They? 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?

PLN stands for Personal Learning Network. PLNs provide a source for teachers to connect and link together in amazing ways. PLNS allow teachers from all over the world, to link useful information together and share with one another in the education community. I had never even heard of PLNs before this blog assignment. I think this resource is so interesting and very efficient in organizing a lot of resources and apps in one centralized location. As a teacher we can use this resource to not only organize different resources that we have. But also we can search through other educators PLNs and use their resources to find information for lesson plans or assignments.

When you create your own PLN using a website like Symbaloo you can add different apps or "tiles" to create your own personalized PLN. I created mine and uploaded some of my favorite websites such as twitter, facebook, Pinterest, You Tube etc. Then I also added some new resources that I found through the search engine on the site.

  1. I completely agree with your statement that you think PLNs are very useful and efficient. I like that you were honest about not knowing what PLNs were until you read up on them. Nice post!

  2. Good post! The link you provided for your PLN on Symbaloo only took me to an are to create my own PLN. It didn't take me to yours specifically. Please check that and correct it.
