Professional Learning Networks for Social Work
On the last day of CSWE’s Annual Program Meeting at 10:00 AM in the Dallas Ballroom A-2, Nancy J.

A PLN incorporates technology-based tools and processes in a way that allows individuals to stay up-to-date and share information about current news, practice knowledge and current research findings. We will be talking about the mechanics, advantages and disadvantages of establishing a PLN. One resources we will be sharing is our Professional Learning Network (PLN) Worksheet, which takes a social worker through the steps of creating their own PLN.

Pln chs
A personal learning network (PLN) is a collection of people that one engages with online to exchange information, especially about a specific topic. As discussions occur, the network and associated resources grow. Educators can benefit from PLNs by gaining lesson ideas, finding solutions to problems, and learning about new technologies. To start a PLN, one should begin blogging to share ideas and track learning. Look for other bloggers with similar interests by searching blogs or asking colleagues. Engage with your network by responding promptly and encouraging its growth through social media and online communities.
