PLN: Your Personal Learning Network Made Easy « Once a Teacher….
“What is a PLN?
If I had to define what a ‘Personal Learning Network’ is, I would keep it simple and broad:

Basically, anyone that you interact with is apart of your PLN, whether they are social contacts, professional peers, or experts in their field. Most of the ‘learning’ takes place on-line now, because it is simple to find and connect with others with similar interests from around the world.”

“”Educational Networking” is the use of social networking technologies for educational purposes. Because the phrase “social networking” can carry some negative connotations for educators, the phrase “educational networking” may be a way of more objectively discussing the pedagogical value of these tools. The original URL for this site (http://socialnetworksined.wikispaces.com) still works, but http://www.EducationalNetworking.com is now the main URL.”
