I have learned that a PLN (Personal Learning Networks) is a network that is designed for organizing information and keeping record of the websites that you use. It is like your own personal assistant or organizer. I can definitely see myself using one as a teacher! I know as a teacher I will be busy, busy, busy and with the PLN I can keep up with websites and other material that I use as a reference (so I do not have to worry about forgetting things).
I used symbaloo as my PLN and I like it! It is a great source for organization and I added EDM 310 blogspot to my network so that I will not forget it. I’m excited about learning more later on about PLN!

ReplyDeleteThe tool is not the PLN. A PLN is a collection of people (especially people) and tools which can help you as an educator and as a learner.
Hey Ty! I really enjoyed reading your post about Personal Learning Networks. Just remember that a PLN is not just limited to one tool or just one person. It is a string of tools and people that can help you as a learner and a future teacher. Just like you, I am excited to learn all I can about building my PLN so that I can be the best teacher possible for my students. I think your picture is really neat too.
ReplyDeleteHi Tyeshay,
ReplyDeleteYour post about Personal Learning Networks was very helpful. Although I think you the PLN is meant for creating a network of people, I still found it informative because I have never heard of symbaloo before. So thank you for sharing that website with me and your creative picture as well!
Hi Tyeshay,
ReplyDeleteA PLN is a network that you have created yourself to have all your teaching resources in. Your picture was very funny because somedays I feel I need that many arms. I know school can be overwhelming, but keep up the good work. You can do this!
