This document discusses how to create an online personal learning network (PLN) to stay connected with the latest educational research and blogs. It recommends using RSS feeds and a feed reader to aggregate content from multiple websites and blogs into one place. It also emphasizes that a PLN is not just about following others, but also contributing back through responding to blog posts, writing your own blog, and finding new connections.
