Friday, 10:00-11:15
Midwest - 201D
 
In this session, attendees will learn what a Personal Learning Network (PLN) is, why educators should have one, and how to start building a PLN of their own. Using Web 2.0 tools such as Twitter, blogs, Nings, and more, educators will learn how to develop a network of like-minded educators with which to share knowledge, learn from, and grow professionally. Among other things, a PLN can become a unique, real-time link to professional development that can fit individual needs.
