Ross Craycraft on 05 Sep 14Great resource here. I really like the set up of the resource that explains PLNs, explains how they are being utilized now, their importance, and where they are going. Another great resource from Educause.

toddsvecusa on 08 Sep 14I really liked this resource. I have not done much work with PLN's, and this helped me get a better grasp of the concept. The resource really explains how PLN's should be used and what they can and can't help with. I enjoyed the resource. Thank you for sharing.

B Bernheim on 08 Sep 14Sarah - I think you found a gem here. When I began to read the article, I felt that the writer was advocating a narrow focus - solely academic contributors to a PLN/PLE. As I read, the writer added the need to have a variety of contributors in a PLN. The writer addressed the need for members of a PLN to possess information fluency to distinguish a contributor speaking from a position of authority vs someone writing a narrative opinion. I hope (speaking with what little I know) to expand and grow a PLN that has both elements.
