Personal Learning Networks

Personal learning networks can be a great tool for any professional. After listening to a voicethread of professions discussing their own personal learning networks, I've learned how beneficial they can be. By having a personal learning network (PLN), professionals can collaborate with others in their field. In addition to discussing ideas with others at your school, you can now discuss with people in other schools, other states, and even other countries! The phrase, "two minds are better than one" is really true in this case. There are other teachers all over the world. By talking to them, you can share ideas, problems, successes, and learn from each other. Of these professionals, Twitter seemed to be the most popular choice of a tool to communicate with many other people. I do not currently have a Twitter account, but I look forward to trying this in the future!
