Learning Resources Consultant, Living
         Sky School Division
Growing
                    your




Personal Learning Network
Hanging out
Messing Around
Geeking Out
PLNs lead to
learning,
  discovery,
     & sharing
PLNs are great
       source of
support
        & ideas
My ‘pln’ keeps
 me in the
loop
 in terms of
 new ideas,
new technologies
  new books
Inspiration
   brainstorming &
    commiseration

broad spectrum of
perspectives


 understanding of
 library/edtech issues
I consider my
PLN to be an
  instrumental
    part of my
     continued
growth
How?
Minutes
    a day
Reading
Writing
Connecting
Tagging
Sharing
Immersion




  afraid leaving will mean missed opportunities
Evaluating nodes and networks.....
The more you know the more you
realize you don’t know .... afraid to
            disconnect
Gaining Perspective
Finding the balance between


                          Living
                            &
                         Learning
The best way that we can help our kids use social
networks safely - ethically - effectively is to begin to
do it for ourselves ....

We have to create our own personal learning
networks as educators and we have to understand
how the networks can have a profound impact on the
way that we learn.
