Introduction
A Professional Learning Network for teachers is a great way
to get inspiration and ideas, but it's a particular blessing for
teachers in rural schools and districts where they might
otherwise be alone. To get started, try searching your
favorite social media sites for relevant groups, or see if your
LMS has public groups that you can join for instant community-
building. Once you make some connections, you'll wonder how
you ever got along without your PLN.
A PLN is an online community of educators that comes together
informally to share ideas about education, including lesson
plans, pedagogical strategies, and lots of encouragement.
PLNs happen on Twitter and other social media sites, or you
may find other communities specifically developed around
your interests. If you can't find one, you can also create one
just start a Facebook group page and see where it takes you.
