Welcome to our professional learning series on building a PLN. This series guides you step by step through the process of setting up your own PLN. The aim of this first step is to: Explain what is a PLN. Help you understand why educators create their own PLN.

Welcome to our professional learning series on building a PLN. This series guides you step by step through the process of setting up your own PLN. It's great for people who still need to delve deeper into what a PLN actually is.

I particularly found the Step 6: Curation page to be intriguing. This page introduces curation, the strategic collection and compilation of knowledge and media found online, and demonstrates how it can be a valuable tool for educators engaged in expanding and sharing their constant learning and teaching journeys (See the video towards the middle of the page where a teacher shows his netvibes and scoopit accounts, and the very complex ways in which teachers can organize and share knowledge from these information collection/filtering tools. VERY valuable for our fast-paced and information-heavy time.)

This website includes details about how each individual in the classroom can benefit by using Diigo, and it also includes a video located at the bottom of the page.

Beyond extended student learning, Diigo can be used as a form of professional development. Diigo has several educator groups that are active in sharing and collaborating on bookmarks relevant to education. This group has almost 10,000 members. You can find over 200 other Diigo K-12 education groups here.

This website is great for those teachers newly using Diigo as a technology resource for their classroom. Exploring this website really helped give me the basics and help me brain storm ideas for my classroom.
