"Together we are better": Professional learning networks for teachers - 0 views

    A lengthy article, but it does a good job of explaining the theories behind PLNs while also providing case studies of how PLNs benefited teachers. It connects PLNs with connectivism as well.

PLNs: Theory and Practice - Linking Learning - 2 views

  •  
    An article and two videos that outline the theoretical underpinnings of PLNs. It breaks down the term "PLN" into components and explains each. It also explains the link with connectivism.
  •  
    A great resource on PLN from a PhD student studying "the concept of PLNs and networked and connected learning"
  •  
    Very thorough source for understanding PLN's. The videos are a good option if you didn't want to read through the whole article and provide a different perspective. I was drawn to the PLN map and other graphic organizers. Great visual representations to further understanding!

    I like how this looks at how connectivism and PLNs are related, because they are! Very interesting read.
  •  
    I think it helps to pull all of this information together when you can identify ways in which these foundations can be related to one another. I also appreciate the short and concise nature of the post - the author gets right to the point!
  •  
    This was an interesting read. I appreciated the author's written style. I found her overview of connectivism to be very helpful. In it, she outlines Siemens' eight principles of connectivism. I found the following most interesting: The "capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known." The focus on lifelong learning as a process is probably my favorite part about this theory. It truly democratizes knowledge and values those who make an effort to continue to grow. Thanks for sharing!

What is the Importance of a Personal Learning Network? - The Edvocate - 2 views

  •  
    Matthew Lynch discusses benefits that an educator gains when they create a Personal learning network. Key points include learning a diversity of teaching styles, taking command of your own professional development, and finding a support system.
  •  
    I like the part about using a PLN as a way to establish a support system. I didn't initially think of them that way but it could be a great source for classroom management or just needing a people to vent to when a class can be difficult that day. It's almost like taking that "teacher's lounge" vibe home...if you need it!
  •  
    This is a nice overview that makes it really clear why an educator might choose to create his/her own PLN. Like Carissa, I like the idea of thinking of a PLN almost as a support system. To me, the most critical component of the PLN is the idea of the PERSONAL Learning Network. The focus is on one's personal goals, needs, strengths, weaknesses, or areas of interest. It's not mandated or directed. Thanks for sharing!

Creating Your Personal Learning Network & Why It's Important - Technology Post - 0 views

  •  
    This source is geared for the post-secondary setting but the information can be applied to anyone. The post discusses steps to creating a personal learning network but also explains why it is important and should be focused on. Many "tip" lists just name reasons but don't give you a larger picture of why it should be considered.
