What’s important with a PLN is not “what it does for me” but rather how I can use it to change things in education, society, or the world. Learning networks give us potential for action. For many educators, these networks function on a gift-economy basis. We’re involved in a type of social contract where we share freely with others and, in turn, we receive freely from them. Once the sharing stops, the network collapses.

What can you do with and for those people in your PLN? Mobilize for a cause? Run an open course? Create something of significance (an image, a video)

Creation, collaboration, and sharing are the true value points of a PLN. It’s not what it does for me, but rather what I am now able to do with and for others.

Even when we are newcomers in a network or community, we should be creating and sharing our growing understanding.
