What is PLN?


PLN (Professional Learning Network) is also known as Personal Learning Network.



“PLN are deliberately formed networks of people and resources capable of guiding our independent learning
goals and professional development needs”— Corine Weisberger



I wanted to upload the video but slide share does not have an option for that so I am just including the
youtube video link down below.



For more information on PLN watch this you tube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM--gK3W62g
PLN (Sep, 2013)
 Unfortunately, I don’t have a screenshot of my PLN
from the beginning of this semester but I started with 0
followers, 0 following and 0 tweets.
 The resources in Module 2 helped me in finding many
useful accounts to follow such as, EdTech services,
The Alberta Teacher’s Association, Alberta Education,
2learn society, Discovery education etc.
 My twitter account is @FaqueehaMansoor
Alberta Teachers
Association
Alberta Teachers Association
1. ATA is a great account to
follow because it provides a
network for teachers in
Alberta.
2. It provides Newsfeed about
education in Alberta and
about new programs and
guidelines.
3. Many teachers in Alberta
follow this account to keep
themselves updated.
4. It is a great account for
teachers to connect,
collaborate and contribute
their thoughts on different
educational conditions in
Alberta
2learn Society
2learn Society
1. It is a non profit organization
and it provides resources and
leadership for teachers.
2. For example, in Module 3 we
learnt about the Intellectual
property and Copyright. 2
learn resources help a lot in
describing the Copyright and
when can we use what and
what is the right way to use
something.
3. I follow this account to keep
myself updated regarding with
laws and resources.
Steve W. Anderson
Steve W. Anderson
1. He is an Educator, Blogger and he
is from NC.
2. His blog
http://blog.web20classroom.org is
very useful and it has some
thought provoking ideas and
shows what is going on today with
the help of technology and web 2.0
tools.
3. His tweets about students and
teachers are very engaging and
informative.
4. It shows how twitter connects
people from all over the world,
even though he is not from Alberta
but a lot of teachers can get
interesting ideas from his tweets
and accounts and contribute their
own ideas by giving replies to
PLN October,
Here is the screenshot of
my PLN from now.
• I do not have so may
followers because I
want to my PLN
professional and I do
not want it to be mingle
with the family and other
friends.
• The reason is because
many people tweet stuff
which is highly
unprofessional and I do
not really want it to be
the part of my PLN.
• I am sure that in some
months I will be able to
get more followers than
I have now.

PLN: Connect
 PLN is a great way to connect with professionals from
all over the world.
 It is very beneficial for pre service professional to keep
in touch with the veterans related to their profession.
 There are a lot of useful sites and accounts on social
media to follow thus building your PLN is a great way
to connect and keep yourselves flourished.
PLN: Contribute
 When we make our PLN and get connected to many
professionals and experts, it will allow us to contribute
our thoughts as well.
 For example, I can make tweets about different
teaching theories and what I believe in or can make a
question for a lot of my followers. My followers can
then provide me with feedbacks and I can also
contribute by making feedbacks on their tweets.
PLN: Collaborate
 Teachers can thus collaborate on different teaching
perspectives, ideas and work by using their PLNs.
 For example, if I will make a tweet about what is the role of
technology in education? A lot of other my followers and
teachers can thus contribute their thoughts and we can all
collaborate by working and sharing our ideas about
technology in education.
 We can thus share our perspectives and why we think like
that by giving reasons and thus can convince others if we
are right or get convinced others’ thoughts if they seem to
be reasonable.
My contributions on
Twitter
 I use twitter in order to gain knowledge and also
retweet knowledgeable stuff for my followers.
 Twitter is a great social media tool in order to stay
connected with a lot of professional and build upon
your teaching skills by reading useful articles and
different resources.
 I became more aware by joining different accounts
especially the ones related to Alberta Education
because it keeps me updated with all the new
information I need to know related to the curriculum
and teaching.
Here are some screenshots of my contributions
and activity on twitter
