I just finished reading Harold Jarche’s post: Seek, Sense, ShareIn the post, he talks about how seeking information, then applying our personal sense-making filters to it, and finally sharing it helps us to see the interconnections, patterns and the larger whole. This is why the process of “seek, sense, share” becomes so important in one’s personal learning and knowledge management. This set me thinking about how I manage my personal knowledge and from there it led to the tools I use to do in this networked world.

Here are some resources to help you develop your online personal, professional learning network.

I've decided to post a semi-serious "Cliff Notes" version of advice for Twitter newbies, for the benefit of people new to Twitter who are too busy to read around how to use it to build a PLN (personal learning network) in depth.

It would be great for educators to receive credit and recognition for the countless hours spent reading, listening, and implementing what other educators and experts have to say about Pedagogy, Technology, Science Education, and 21st Century Teaching.

So exactly what does my Personal Learning Network (PLN) look like? Here’s a sample of how I spend the first half hour of every morning learning before I go to work:Check my email.Check in with Twitter and Classroom 2.0 to see what people are saying, blogging, what websites are being referenced, or what webinars may be available later in the day.Visit interesting bookmarks shared through the Diigo groups I belong.I’ll check into Facebook to see what friends and relatives, some personal some professional, are up to this day.I’ll check my school and student email. (Students use a unique email to access me.)I’ll check my blog to see if I need to respond to anyone or perhaps I’ll add a new post.I’ll review the new posts of the many blogs I follow.Whatever new comes my way that day, I’ll click and check it out.All this before I even leave the house. Of course, I follow up at work when and where I am able. My expanded PLN is fairly new. I can’t imagine what this list will look like in a few months.If you're interested in developing your own PLN, check out this blog page by Lisa Nielsen, author of The Innovator Educator.

personal learning networks are created by an individual learner, specific to the learner’s needs extending relevant learning connections to like-interested people around the globe.

PLNs provide individuals with learning and access to leaders and experts around the world bringing together communities, resources and information impossible to access solely from within school walls.

I recommend Innovative Educators new to PLNs begin as a PLN consumer (1.0 skills) and grow into PLN producers (2.0 skills)

PKM consists of practical methods for making sense of the increasing digital information flows around us

The term personal knowledge management (PKM) isn’t about management in a business sense but rather how we can manage to make sense of information and experience in our electronic surround. Personal – according to one’s abilities, interests & motivation (not directed by external forces). Knowledge – connecting information to experience (know what, know who, know how). Management

Hyperlinks subvert hierarchy, or, in other words, digital networks enable multiple connections, so organizational communications are no longer just vertical.
