Wow!  As many technology training workshops that I have attended and conducted, I was unaware that I had a Personal Learning Network (PLN).  Prior to this class my, PLN included (a) taking a class (b) colleagues, (c) reading professional journals online/off line (d) books (e) magazines, (f) newspaper articles (g) radio (h) television (i) emails (j) professional seminars/workshops (k) internet websites (l) wikis (m) chat/instant messaging (n) personal conversations with friends and family via phone and/or email (o) taking f2f courses and (p) elearning/online classes.

I am happy to know that with the RSS (Really Simply Syndication), I have a tool that will allow me to update and modernize my own PLN on topics that directly impact the way I will now select and conduct technology professional development training for the stakeholders in my school/district.  Also, I will now be able to share with all stakeholders information (i.e., articles, video, current news updates, etc) that can possible provide best practices that have been utilized by other school/districts on topics that are of interest individually and collectively.


Describe why you selected to use the tools you selected to be your Personal Learning Network (PLN)?
