Blog Post #5 PLN
A Personal Learning Network is a group of
people, social media or web pages that could be used to enhance your learning
Network. As a teacher a PLN can help you connect with teachers around the world
and also teachers who teach in your same exact field. You can communicate with
these teachers along with learning from some of the things they are doing with
their students. A PLN is a quick tool that you can set up to gain fast access
to the information you use on the regular.
A PLN can be set up by using two different web sites, Symbaloo or
Netvibes. Inside these sites there are small icons that are links to
things you use as your personal learning network.
I created my PLN by using Symbaloo. It was
easy to log in and set up my page. After deleting a few icons, I added my own
few which included a link to my blog, and a link to EDM310 Blogspot. I Believe a
PLN can be very beneficial for fast, on the go access to information. When you
increase you PLN is when you can have complete control over your new learning
experience.

Good post Corey, you did a nice job of explaining all the benefits of a PLN. Just make sure your font size is always consistent throughout your blog posts and that you do not use contrasting verb tenses within one sentence.
ReplyDeleteCorey, I found your personal learning network informative. I will create an account Symblaoo to expand my PLN. Teachers definitely need to extend their ideas to other professionals. What great benefits you pointed out with building a PLN. These personal learning networks communicate, ask advice, explore and share teaching experiences. It's interesting you can add PLN into Symbaloo.
ReplyDeleteGood post, but don't forget that each blog post requires working links!
