Gabriel Marquez outlines the key components of their personal learning network (PLN). The PLN utilizes social networks like Facebook and Twitter to stay connected with peers and professionals, informative websites to increase knowledge on topics related to teaching, and sites that allow sharing of information like tutorials, papers, and presentations. E-mail is also used to exchange documents and information that require review before being shared more publicly. Overall, the PLN is unique and personalized for the individual to enhance their professional development and growth through curating and expanding the resources in their network.

3. SOCIAL NETWORKS

4. The social Networks in my PLN are very
useful to be in contact with peers, students,
classmates, and professionals that can help
me with any issue I could face in my
classroom. These are easy to use and as
professional development tools are the most
common for people.

5. GET INFORMATION

6. The informative sites in my PLN help
me to increase my knowledge about
everything I need for my classes or
professional development. The number
of web sites used can be constantly
expanding so the sources are varied
and personal for each individual.

7. SHARE INFORMATION

8. All those web sites that allow users to
share Info increase the way we learn
because in that way our work can be seen
by many people who can comment about
it and decide if is useful or nor. Tutorials,
essays, papers, Power point
presentations, thesis, and so on are good
example of what professional are sharing
in the web.

9. E-MAIL

10. Mails allow professional people,
exchange documents and information
that cannot be uploaded in information
sites. Papers, essays, and anything
that have first to be checked by other
people. Mails are useful for opening
accounts in other sites and sent
homework assignments, and
notifications.
