This article, even though it is short and sweet, does a great job of describing what exactly a PLN is. It simplifies the idea from hashtags and movements and social engagement and badges and, well, all the buzzwords you hear, into a clear explanation that works not just within education, but any field. This article also features a video that explains PLN's very well.
I had to laugh when he mentioned 'lurking' because that has been my MO throughout the years with my PLN. I have always called my PLN my Personal Lurking Network because I haven't really contributed much to it, but I have definitely gleaned a lot from it.
I like how this article mentioned that a PLN doesn't have to be online, but that it has extended the possibilities for a PLN and with the development of technology it will also change how people use PLNs.
Short, sweet, and to the point. It's always nice to find an article that can tell you what you need to know without unnecessary filler content. I really liked the video and how it pointed out that your network is always on, but you don't always have to be no it.
I enjoyed looking at this site because of its concise explanation. The video clip was a great way to get the point across. One thing that stood out to me is when the author said that the "view will continue to change as technology evolves." I feel that any networking used will change quickly and I am interested to see where PLN go in the next few years.
I like this article! It is right to the point! I especially appreciate the element of the degrees of connectivity. As technology advances, interaction will as well. Can't wait to see how VR affects this space.
