This video provides an overview of what PLNs are and how they relate to education. The fact that this video relates to education, specifically, is helpful in considering why PLNs are beneficial for teachers. However, the video says it is the first of four in a series, but the other videos cannot be found, which is disappointing if one wants to hear more on the topic.
