Why Every Teacher Needs Personal Learning Networks - 6 views

cynthia mills on 06 Sep 13This is a great site to get started understanding the benefits of PLN's. In particular, I like the fact that when discussing the benefits of PLN's the author, Education in America, brings up the fact that even though teachers are surrounded by students and colleagues, teaching can be an isolating experience. I've been there, and I know that having a PLN has not only made me feel connected, but also it has helped me share ideas in a more personal way.

Betty Clevenger on 10 Sep 13I liked the fact that this site recognizes that "teaching can be an isolated profession"! Very interesting article.

Russell Nash on 10 Sep 13I have to agree with the statement in this article about teaching being an isolated profession. I felt that many times and often wished that I had the remedy. In hindsight, I think a better network would have been helpful. Most of my time spent in a traditional classroom setting (face to face instruction) was as a lone teacher in a very small school. A better PLN would have been very helpful.
