This document discusses personal learning networks (PLNs) and the online community TeachConnect. It defines a PLN as everything and everyone a teacher looks to for knowledge about teaching. Effective PLNs provide socialization into the profession, practical help, opportunities for reflection, feedback, and modeling of best practices. TeachConnect aims to support pre-service and early career teachers through online mentoring circles and knowledge sharing as teaching can be an isolated career and beginning teachers feel unsupported. The document provides information on joining TeachConnect and references for further reading on developing personal learning networks.
