Personal Learning Network

A Personal Learning Network is a network that you create in order to develop your learning. The idea of a PLN is that you can be part of a group of people who you can consult because they are always available, and willing to share their knowledge. This network can be used as a way of keeping up to date, keeping in contact with different people (mates, experts, etc.), and a way of exchanging ideas. It is important to create a PLN in order to access quality information. To do this, you should:

Nik Peachey, for example, proposes in the British Council Roadshow:
• Join or ‘Like’ a page or group on Facebook
• Take an online course
• Follow educators on Twitter
• Collect and curate online resources
• Subscribe to teaching websites
• Read blogs by other teachers
• Write my own teaching blog

My PLN, so far, consists of my blog Tech-in-the-English-class, a Diigo and a Scoop.it account. I find it really useful because it allows me be up to date and learn about other people and experts’ ideas.
