    This article helped to synthesize all of the other articles I read on PLNs. It states, "Personal Learning Networks are systems that help learners take control of and manage their own learning. This includes providing support for learners to: set their own learning goals, manage their learning; managing both content and process, communicate with others in the process of learning and thereby achieve learning goals."
    I especially like how this article goes into depth about what a PLN is and why it is important to your own personal learning. This particular article is geared toward educators and created their own PLNs. Below I found this list to be helpful on what exactly an educator could add to their own PLNs:
    Here are some ways that educators are using their PLNs:
    - Professional development - learn from content-area specialists
    - Locate resources for your classroom, such as free websites and software
    - Get lesson plan ideas from master teachers
    - Learn about new technology and how to integrate it into your teaching
    - Find collaborative solutions
    - Find interesting links to education news
