PLN



A PLN, or personal learning network is a group that you surround yourself with in order to develop professionally. We all actually have one without knowing it because everyone talks to and gets ideas from other people. I plan to use my PLN to gain advice in teaching from people that have been doing this a lot longer than me and I also hope to get ideas for lessons. It is important to have one because it is a way for teachers to learn through others and get new ideas out there.
