PLN

What is a PLN? A PLN stands for personal learning network. It is a way you can design to network with others using technology in order to share information.  Tweeter, Facebook, blogs, and emails are all examples of personal learning networks. 

I have my own PLN and I network with my teachers at the University of Mobile, the organization I affiliate with, family, and friends. In the future I plan on continuing to blog, email, instant message, and text message not only in my person life but also in my career as an educator. I will have to interact with co-workers to share information and my supervisor. A personal learning network is a great tool that should be applied in education because every profession has to utilize this tool.
