    And a little scary to me. The article makes a good point about the importance of curating and managing the PLN. I loved this statement describing the importance of learning networks! "Defoe's Robinson Crusoe was a warning, not just a story.Let's not let students leave school in isolation, with only Friday on their minds. Let's ensure they are well connected, independent, and empowered to learn anywhere, anytime".

    This is a very interesting and helpful overview of the skills we all need to have in order to create positive learning networks! One of the things I want most to help my students develop is their own voices in the wider conversation beyond our classroom. It is so easy for them to act impulsively and out of ignorance, though, that I feel that explicit education is essential to help them understand the scope of what they're doing and participate positively in learning networks. This article is very helpful in focusing some on some specific skills and approaches to emphasize with students - thanks for posting!

    This article brings up some really good points about the types of skills students need and how educators can make sure they are developing theses skills. Having students design and participate in PLCs is a great way to start developing the skills that are going to be essential in their future. Thanks for sharing.

    Interesting article, Meg. I started following the guy that was mentioned, Paul Moss, on twitter, and hope to get some good ideas. I love the idea of starting to get kids networking in an educational way. They are already experts on doing it socially! If we have another EdCamp format, I'd love to have a discussion about what PLNs could mean for students, even as young as middle school.

    If you know a history teacher looking to build a PLN on Twitter, this list is awesome! I was psyched that I was on it, but also found a whole crew of great educators I didn't even know were out there. Definitely worth a visit.

    Interesting discussion on using social media to connect and collaborate with educators around the world. Educators develop their own PLN they then "take ownership of the learning and it is much more meaningful." Isn't this what we are striving for our students to do?
