James Russell on 11 Sep 12This article from the University of Illinois describes in depth a PLN and discusses why teachers need to have one online. It also discuses getting your students to build their own.

Fabio Cominotti on 11 Sep 12I think that this is a great idea. Teachers need to model the behavior so that students can see appropriate behavior. Teachers will also be prepared to recognize when students are delving into places that might be dangerous for them and can even teach best practices to students from a wealth of experience.

Todd Vens on 27 Sep 12Great set of slides. Gives a good overview of the benefits of Personal Learning Networks and simple ways to create one. It seems that the intended audience was teachers, but I think this would be especially useful for instructors to share with their students. The link to the Will Richardson youtube interview was very interesting and thoughtful. I had never heard of him before, but his remarks were quite insightful.
