The document is a presentation about personal learning networks (PLNs) and how educators can evolve their practice by developing their own PLN. It discusses how PLNs have transformed from isolated learning to interconnected learning through online connections and collaboration. The presentation encourages educators to start small with their PLN, such as through RSS feeds, social networking, blogging, and video chatting, and to connect with others online through conferences and Twitter. It suggests educators reflect on where they are currently at in developing their own PLN and considers possibilities for the future of PLNs and 21st century pedagogy.
