8. “This net work is a collection of individuals’ ideas,
links and knowledge that they share freely. It is
personal—I tailor it, selecting who and what topics I
will follow. It connects me to experts in the field—
both known and unknown—all with amazing
abilities to share. From these people I learn more
about teaching and education, about reflection,
about the latest applications and other topics that I
am interested in.
My PLN challenges me to think and consider aspects
that I may never have other wise. It gives me
opportunity to contribute and exchange ideas through
my blog, t witter account and online communities. It’s
exciting to have such access to a range of rich content.”
Tara Fagan - CORE Education Facilitator
10. What is
the VLN?
A social learning community where teachers,
learners, school leaders and facilitators
connect, join virtual programmes/projects,
share experiences, and develop new ways to
support learning through ICTs.
24. It can take time to build up an active
PLN – so don’t get discouraged. It
takes time to build community – but
once its established – you can benefit
from the sharing.
