Although this article is a bit of a how to it goes more in depth of what a PLN can do for a student instead of how. This article discusses the uses of Twitter in the classroom and its benefits on students using it. Here it is expressed that students can move away from "other" internet sources that do not help them learn and begin informative, useful discussions on a platform they are familiar with. This article discusses how Twitter can be a great resource for student "conversations about research, trends and resources within their fields of study." I always thought of Twitter as nonsense and people looking for attention on what is going on in their lives; however now with the understanding that conversations and resources being shared can happen via Twitter I am changing my mind.
