    Vicki Davis equates the student PLN to a virtual locker. The content in the virtual locker changes as students shift from one project to another. Whether it is an RSS feed or Twitter following, the students are developing networks to acquire the information. PLN allow student learning to become more self-directed. The article addresses the challenges for educators face as PLNs become more prevalent in the classroom.

    Truthfully, you had me at the title with this one. Aside from the fact that I study good titles to make my articles more engaging, the metaphor was really powerful. I also liked the one student's comment about how iGoogle keeps her stuff organized. I'm going to look into that. I'd love a dashboard of sorts. I already have one with HootSuite, but it'd be nice to know what else is out there. Cheers! Buffy

    Great article! It is encouraging to see that like educators, students can also utilize PLNs in a meaningful way. Definitely going to check out iGoogle!

    Coming from a higher ed perspective I found this really interesting. I used an RSS feed for a 200 level undergrad blended format class and received terrible reviews on the use of the tool. I found this interesting and am still trying to understand what went wrong. I am moving toward the use of Twitter now but found loved this visual image of the locker!
