A personal learning network is an informal learning network that consists of people a learner interacts with and derives knowledge from a personal learning environment. In a PLN, A person makes a connection with another person with a specific intent that some type of learning will occur because of that connection. One of the most important parts of this concept is the theory of Connectivism. Learners create connections and develop a network that contributes to their professional development and knowledge, the learner doesn't have to ever have to meet the person or even know the person personally. Personal learning networks share a close association with the concept of personal learning environments. A personal learning network can be a collaboration of tools for helping you in your future teaching career. These tools consist of a list of people whom you can call upon for assistance. Now a days, there are so many ways to obtain this list and one could be through social media. How I would create my own PLN (Personal Learning Network) is most likely through twitter, it is a great source of social media to use for this type of situation. I will plan to use twitter by starting out with a small number of teachers to follow through the EDM program and then eventually expanding based off their tweets and followers. I think it is important for you to follow people that you do know, as well as people that you do not know. Following people you do know will most likely have the same interests and views on things as you, and following people that you do not know can lead to you thinking in a different way that you never thought you could and can open your mind to different opinions on certain things, and as well as helping me with tools that can be effective for research!
This is well stated. I especially love your picture! It points out all of the useful sights for a PLN!
ReplyDelete"...that consists of people a learner interacts with and derives knowledge from a personal learning environment." This sentence is awkward. You need the word in after the word from. Even after that change the sentence remains awkward.
ReplyDeleteYou wrote: "Personal learning networks share a close association with the concept of personal learning environments." That phrase is also found in the following (just to name a few). It could be considered plagiarism since it is not in quotation marks in your post and there is no citation given. A technical argument could be made since there appear to be 9 or more instances in which the exact phrase is used without citation. But … where did you get i?
Here are the results from Google when I check that sentence:
