  Learning networks are based on the theory of Connectivism. This article makes that connection and then offers 20 tips for people to maximize the use of their PLNs. The first 10 tips are centered on effectively using a PLN. These tips start with how to join an online community, to actively participating, and communicating with new members. The second 10 tips are on staying productive with your PLN. These tips include using bookmarks, establishing a blog and staying current with online tools. I like this article because it gets at the heart of a PLN without saying it directly. In reading through the tips on how to do it, you inherently begin to understand why its useful to professionals. It is a good way to learn what a PLN is without someone having to directly say it.

  I agree! It is great to see that we are all starting to establish a successful PLN. I like how the number one tip is always to remember that it's about collaboration. The ultimate goal is to be resourceful and work with other people in your field. It was a stretch for me to create a blog, but I think it is going to be an excellent platform for me to discuss different experiences that occur in the classroom.

  I like the tip on separating personal and professional social networks. It can get to be a lot sometimes, but I have seen huge benefits in having my personal social media kept separate from my professional accounts!
