What
exciting thing have you discovered - related to your PLN?
First
of all, I have to say that Personal Learning network was a new thing to me
until recently, and then I started to learn more about. While I was reading
about PLN, I have seen a lot of people who wrote some articles about PLN and
referring to it as Professional Learning network instead of personal Learning
Network.
What I have discovered about PLN through reading more about it was
that PLN can be beneficial for both personal and professional learning as long
as the person put some effort into learning and choose the wisely what he or
she adds to their learning network. Another thing that I feel was a great
suggestion from a classmate was to include some local blogs in the PLN which
can help keeping up with local companies and may help when deciding to get a
job at one of these local companies.
Mohammed, first I love how your post just pops out with color, really grabbed my attention. I also found a lot of information on building my PLN, PLN's can be good for promoting yourself just have to be careful what you share. You might want to watch and share some Youtube videos on building a PLN.
ReplyDeleteAs a first time visitor to your blog I appreciate the cordial welcome. PL lands can be both personal and professionally oriented. An example of a professional orientation is LinkedIn which presents professional profiles for successful networking. Could you please describe in detail how you plan to use social media to develop your PLN?
ReplyDeleteYour point about putting effort into your PLN is important. The idea of connecting to others through a variety of methods - even in person to support you in specific learning areas is at the heart of a PLN, which you could call a personal learning network, professional learning network. Some even use PLE - personal learning environment or personal learning ecology. I look forward to seeing how you grow your PLN.
