Thoughts on Personal Learning Networks

I found this to be the best definition of a PLN: n. – the entire collection of people with whom you engage and exchange information, usually online.

I am most familiar with Facebooks since that is how I share information and pictures with friends and family. A PLN can connect you to information very quickly and can help you find people that share the same interests.

Ways that I may use a Personal Learning Network:
-Professional Development-learn from others with the same interests
-Find collaborative solutions
-Find links to current news in education
-Social Bookmarking
-Nings

Websites that will help me:
-Twitter
-Wikispaces
-Blogger
-Classroom 2.0
-Future of Education
-Diigo
-Delicious

I would love to hear your thoughts and comments on Personal Learning Networks!
