Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) are all about using web tools such as blogs, wiki, twitter, facebook to create connects with others which extend our learning, increases our reflection while enabling us to learn together as part of a global community. PLNs increase our opportunities to ask questions and receive help compared to our normal daily face-to-face interactions.

PLN game on 2008-11-03 and saved by 11 people
- I really loved how Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach in her Hale School Workshop broke the participants into four groups and got them to move around the room answering the four questions on butcher’s paper. Would be a great way for them to physically feel a personal learning network in action.
  
  Trouble is I’m struggling for ideas for the questions. Sheryl’s were:
  
  How has world changed?
  How have students changed?
  What should we doing to instill curiosity & creativity?
  What will Classroom 2.0 look like?
  
  Any thoughts on what questions I could use? Or can you suggest any different activities?

Very interesting article regarding our need as educators to teach students how to build their own PLNs. Teachers need to lead by example. He gives quick tips in the end on how to establish a PLN.

- It's a consequence of the new Web 2.0 world that these digital footprints—the online portfolios of who we are, what we do, and by association, what we know—are becoming increasingly woven into the fabric of almost every aspect of our lives.
- A recent National School Boards Association survey (2007) announced that upward of 80 percent of young people who are online are networking and that 70 percent of them are regularly discussing education-related topics.
- 8 more annotations...
- - By and large, they do all this creating, publishing, and learning on their own, outside school, because when they enter the classroom, they typically "turn off the lights" (Prensky, 2008).
  - This may be the first large technological shift in history that's being driven by children.
  - The new literacy means being able to function in and leverage the potential of easy-to-create, collaborative, transparent online groups and networks, which represent a "tectonic shift" in the way we need to think about the world and our place in it (Shirky, 2008). This shift requires us to create engaged learners, not simply knowers, and to reconsider the roles of schools and educators.
  - Publishing content online not only begins the process of becoming "Googleable," it also makes us findable by others who share our passions or interests.
  - Although many students are used to sharing content online, they need to learn how to share within the context of network building. They need to know that publishing has a nobler goal than just readership—and that's engagement.
  - These new realities demand that we prepare students to be educated, sophisticated owners of online spaces.
  - More than ever before, students have the potential to own their own learning—and we have to help them seize that potential. We must help them learn how to identify their passions; build connections to others who share those passions; and communicate, collaborate, and work collectively with these networks.
  - Get Started!
    
    Here are five ideas that will help you begin building your own personal learning network.
    
    Read blogs related to your passion. Search out topics of interest at http://blogsearch.google.com and see who shares those interests.
    
    Participate. If you find bloggers out there who are writing interesting and relevant posts, share your reflections and experiences by commenting on their posts.
    
    Use your real name. It's a requisite step to be Googled well. Be prudent, of course, about divulging any personal information that puts you at risk, and guide students in how they can do the same.
    
    Start a Facebook page. Educators need to understand the potential of social networking for themselves.
    
    Explore Twitter
    (http://twitter.com), a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables users to exchange short updates of 140 characters or fewer. It may not look like much at first glance, but with Twitter, the network can be at your fingertips.

PLN on 2008-10-29
- If you have a question, someone somewhere will have an answer. If you have a problem, someone somewhere will have a solution. If you have an interest, someone somewhere will partner with you to share that interest.
- The reason it’s such a big deal is that these connections with other people are what enables us to grow, and in turn enables us to help our students grow. I’m not sure who originally said it, but I once read, “You will be the same person in 5 years that you are today except for 2 things: the people you meet and the books you read.”

- - Learning is a conversation. We grow when we are exposed to new ideas, when we are challenged to think beyond our current thinking. And with the world changing as fast as it is in the 21st century, we really need to start moving beyond our current thinking just to survive, let alone thrive.

Notes on PLN presentation

betchablog.wikispaces.com/LIAC_notes - Preview

PLN on 2008-10-29
- Every time we share a conversation with someone else, we open new opportunities to grow and to learn.
- Learning today is not a matter of simply acquiring information, but rather engaging in conversations that are fluid and dynamic.
- 2 more annotations...
- - In a nutshell, this is what PLNs are all about... providing a means to engage in an ongoing conversation with people as a mechanism to discovering new ideas and resources and perspectives.
  - in a PLN you don’t know in advance what links you’ll discover, what articles you’ll read, what discussions you’ll have and in what ways the way you view your world might change because of it. To a very large degree, it’s about trusting the process.

Successful Teaching: Growing My Own Professional Learning Network

successfulteaching.blogspot.com/...own-professional-learning.html - Preview

PLN on 2008-10-14
- I think the main point I got from her tips are that in order to grow a learning network, you have to be actively engaged in doing so. You can’t sit around hoping that it will come to you.
- If you do join, I suggest you stick with it for at least 2 weeks before you decide if you like it or not
- 1 more annotations...
- - I join in the conversation. For a long while I just lurked in the background. I realized that to get the most out of my network, I had to add to the conversation. I had to be able to share my thoughts and opinions because what I put into this is what I would get out of it. If I just sat around waiting for everything to come to me, I would be sadly disappointed. I think that is why some people have trouble with networking. They are willing to put time and energy into its development and then wonder why it isn’t happening.
