“PLN is an acronym for Personal Learning Network. The acronym is relatively new, but the idea is not.

Teachers have always had learning networks—people we learn from and share with. Teachers are information

junkies. We’re also social. Put the two together and you have a personal learning network.”

@TDuverTina Duver

Middle School Dean of Students & Middle School Science Teacher

“I have used my PLN to reshape my ever-evolving curriculum. The resources, easy access to information, and connections that I have made using Twitter alone

has changed the way I view education on a global scale. It has enabled me to not only feel supported as an educator, but has allowed me to support others.”

@ACFirstGrade Kasandra Stark

First Grade Teacher

“My PLN re-ignited my passion for teaching and learning.”

Page 15: Connected Educators Presentation

@RyanMBurkeRyan Burke

Head of Middle School

“My PLN has meant that without very much effort, I have help at my fingertips.  If I want more information

about anything, I can get it instantaneously, tailored for my specific needs, and there are actual people

attached to the information that I could/have/will call if I need help understanding any of it.”
