This document provides information about personal learning networks (PLNs) and how to begin creating one. It discusses that PLNs allow individuals to learn, ask questions, and seek help, advice, ideas and resources from others. It then provides various online resources and accounts to follow as initial starting points for finding people to connect with and content to explore when first developing a PLN.
