Professional/Personal Learning Network

A professional/personal learning network is a social media network of people who share the same profession or interests to share with one another concepts or ideas to increase knowledge on a specific subject. For a teacher, this can be very helpful. This helps teachers connect, collaborate, and create new ideas or strategies of doing certain things. You can share resources about crafts, lesson plans, or even strategies for dealing with a crazy class. A professional learning network can help teachers understand that they are not alone and other classrooms are going through the same challenges and struggles they are. “Step 1: What is a PLN?” is a great blog that explains what a PLN is and how to get started.
