The development of a personal learning network (or PLN) is absolutely essential for any successful 21st century educator.
- Russ Goerend on 07 Oct 09
  
  The point of a PLN is that we are not alone. We're not the only ones trying to do what we're trying to do -- to be wordy. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel every time we want to try something we see as new.

Once you’ve set it up, your RSS reader will aggregate all of the new posts on those fantastic blogs in one place – like an e-mail inbox for websites and blogs. Instead of scrambling around trying to find all the best new posts, just sit back and let them come to you!

  My favorite digital tool is Google Reader. Blog posts are so much more fleshed out and thoughtful than Twitter posts, and comments on blog posts can start a real discussion, instead of a simplified one like on Twitter. Don't get me wrong, I get a lot out of my Twitter network, but Google Reader is great.

In order to really bring your network together, you will need to share your own thoughts and learnings with your PLN.
- Russ Goerend on 07 Oct 09
  
  I agree with this fully. 21st Century Learning involves creating and sharing like has never been possible before. We need to be reflecting and sharing those reflections. For transparency's sake, my blog is www.tagmirror.org

Twitter is a powerful tool for sharing quick snippets of your thinking, for connecting with others, and for widening your information consumption a little bit at a time.

Reading material for our CSIP. Preferably reading material that isn't printed out :) A good first step for our CSIP would be to get back involved with Diigo. This could be a bookmark that we could work on "making ours" by highlighting and sticky noting it.

If you’re interested in locking down content, why not pretty it up and turn it into a webpage?  There are plenty of free places to post static content if price is an issue.  If you’re going to use a wiki, I would encourage all to exploit the power of the wiki.
- Russ Goerend on 07 Sep 09
  
  This is a great point that we need to think about in our creation of Wikis. We need to use the right tool to spread our information.
