Personal Learning Networks

A Personal Learning Network (PLN) is an extension of the self that enables a learner to harness the knowledge and experiences of many voices through a collaborative connection. Here at school, PLNs often take form based on grade level or content area assignments, professional areas of interest, or simply the location of your room in the building. These are the people we call upon for advice, to help solve a problem, or fill in the gaps when we can’t figure it out on our own. This network of friends enhances our learning and offers the support necessary to grow professionally.
