PLN

LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a fantastic personal learning network because it is one of the most popular professional websites out there right now, so there are a large number of users. It links people with professional news, occupational opportunities, and information to help people grow in their field of expertise. Another benefit is that because there are so many people on this website, there are endless possibilities for finding your specific field. Because it is growing worldwide, this makes it more beneficial and easier to find people in your same line of work. Teachers can use it by connecting to other teachers all over the world and learning new ways to teach and new methods.

EdWeb.net

EdWeb.net is a great website for teachers because it was created to help benefit the education community. It was made so that teachers and peers and other people in the education community can communicate with one another and they can learn new methods of teaching and new resources from people all over that are in the same field of work. It helps spread new and cool ideas to other teachers that can benefit teachers and students all over the world.

  1. I wouldn't have thought of as LinkedIn as a PLN before because it immediately just strikes me as a way that people get jobs, but you are totally right, that sounds like a very helpful site. I had never heard of EdWeb.net before I will have to check it out.

  2. I found a couple websites that are like EdWeb, giving access to educators to communicate with one another. These websites allow for the sharing of resources and new techniques that can be utilized in the classroom.
