PLN is when you connect to other
people around the world who share
your passions and interests.
Learn Build

They key word is “CONNECT”
PLN isn’t limited to blogging or tweeting,
although this is what we might think of as the
largest PLN platforms.
C
Why is a PLN important?
PLNs are ways to Get & Share
◎Information
◎Content
◎Questions
◎Opinions
◎Resources
◎Tools
“Very importantly it is a way to
connect with other educators or
like-minded individuals. A PLN can
become a network of people and of
information that you can use to
educate inspire yourself and others.
BUILD
Build Your Connections
&
Grow Your Network
B
With the increase
access of
information, it is up
to us as individuals to
go out and seek our
own PLNs. Here I will
provide you with
some places and
tools that you can
use, but there are
many more out there.
Build Your Connections &
Grow Your Network
This is an on-going
undertaking, a way of
life-learning that will
inform your practice
of educating and
being educated.
The key here is to ask yourself several key
questions:
◎What is my main interest?
◎What kind of information am I
looking for?
◎Do I want to be a creator of
content or just a curator of
content?
◎When I find people to interact
with, how do I make sure they
are reliable sources?
START
How to start?
S
Once you are ready, you must then think
about:
◎How are you planning to get
your information?
◎How will you share with others?
◎How do you plan to connect?
Twitter
One of the best places to
start is Twitter.
The key here is finding the
right people to follow.
Stay current on your
particular topic, and
connect and ask question.
Blogging (and commenting on other people’s blogs) is a
great space to share your thoughts, reactions,
resources, and information.
Some Options
◎ Wordpress
◎ Tumblr
◎ Blogger
◎ Edublogs
◎ Medium
◎ Personal Website
Share your blog posts on Twitter!
BLOGGING
Non-Traditional “Blogging” Sites
◎Flickr
◎Instagram
◎YouTube
◎Pinterest
Pinterest for in and out of the classroom, for
lesson planning, resource gathering,
inspiration, in the classroom to support
research, projects, innovative ideas, etc.
There are many places to find information.
Such as
◎ Flipboard (personal magazine -
website & app)
◎ Online Publications
◎ Subscribe to a rss feed
◎ LinkedIn
◎ Google+
◎ Facebook
◎ Webinars
Finding Info
“It’s all about SELF-PROPELLED
Learning and Connecting, these are
skills we must develop and
encourage our students to develop.
