PLN's

Personal Learning Networks (PLN)

PLN's are an aid to help you keep up with the everchanging world around you. How many blogs do you read on an everyday basis? How many times a day do you google information to try to find the answer? A PLN puts all your favorite things in one place!

What is a PLN? A PLN or Personal Learning Network, is a place for you to keep all of the information you want to check regularly. You create a PLN by adding widgets, which are small windows of the information you want to keep updated on. This can be a podcast you regularly listen to, or a blog you read daily or a website you check on a regular basis.

Why use a PLN? A PLN is usually used for convenience. All the things you use or view on a regular basis in one place.

Getting Started To get started creating your own PLN, decide which product you want to use first, I recommend pageflakes because that is what I am familiar with, but there are plenty others out there. Sign up for an account, and get started customizing your learning! View my PLN at []
