Why have
a PLN
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for




Dionne Warwick - That's What Friends Are For
PLN = Personal Learning Network
The people with whom you engage and exchange information

1969 My original PLN
consisted of three of my
colleagues
1970-1980’s – Colleagues in
my school district and ones
that I met at conferences.
1990’s –Through emails I
was able to extend my
contacts
NOW I have an amazing global PLN
that is there 24/7
