Let's start by defining what is a PLN. A PLN is an acronym for Personal Learning Network. It is the tools you use for help, reference, collaboration, inspiration, and other assistance. We have been encouraged to develop a strong PLN in EDM310 and have been provided a number of opportunities to develop a strong PLN. One of the biggest tools that I am currently using is Twitter. When I first started using twitter I just used it for personal reasons and never thought it would ever benefit me in my professional life. Man was I wrong about that one. There are so many ways people use twitter in the education community. I also be sure to look for and follow all of the assigned teachers for our C4T projects. I currently am not using Symabloo or any other site to have my PLN on one page. Like I said I use twitter and any of the blogs that I want to follow I follow on Blogger or save them in Google Chrome as a favorite and they are all listed on my home screen. I would say that my PLN is still a work in progress. But, then again, it probably always will be there will never be a time when I will want to cease learning and growing. An expanding PLN is and always will be part of that process.
