- I propose that the PLN has resurrected the "friends educating each other” model of adult learning.
- We need to take a step back and consider how things have changed.
- Pre-Internet – teacher’s store, magazines, face-to-face: conventions, workshops, classes all input (one-way) no conversation
- Networked teacher with access to Internet – social bookmarking, personal publishing platforms, aggregators; two-way interactions
- The social networked teacher is now connected to everyone that each person they are connected to are connected to…learning is amplified
