- 2. What is a PLN? âA personal learning network is an informal learning network that consists of the people a learner interacts with and derives knowledge from in a personal learning environment. In a PLN, a person makes a connection with another person with the specific intent that some type of learning will occur because of that connection.â A community learning from each other and with each other: creating knowledge through collaboration

Hinweis der Redaktion
- PLN is a bit of a buzz word at the moment, so what does it mean? (1 min to discuss gapfill)Wikipedia definition (click to fill gaps â discuss issues if necessary)Our definition (click to appear)Basically, an English teaching PLN is a community of practice comprising of teachers and managers who share their lesson ideas and experiences and reflections, and communicate to share and learn together.
- Karen: Last year my PLN comprised my co-teachers, friends who teach/are examiners, and my DoS. My network was independent from Sophiaâs network and your networks. Although I used some technology, e.g. digital resources for lesson plans, I did not use technology to CONNECT with other people.
- Karen: If you had told me my PLN would look like this a year ago, I would have laughed in your face! I wasnât even on Facebook let alone TwitterâŠ..and had no idea what PLN meantâŠTwitter & Blogs are larger font as these have the most impact on my learning at the moment (explain briefly some of the connections in the diagram).You can see how connected the PLN is. I learn from many many other people, and with other people: I am basically connected to a global staffroom of engaged and interested teachersâŠ..>>
- We would like to argue that networking is something we need to do in this day and age. To sum up some of the personal benefits Karen has been talking aboutâŠFind what you need, when you need â eg that lesson plan - be supported by people who know what you are going through - Be inspired by those around you All this tailored exactly to your individual needs and context.Many studies on social/emotional importance of being part of a community ââ thanks to online networks, no one has to feel isolated â you can find like-minded teachersThis is all very nice. But at the end of the day a lot of people also donât feel they have the time to invest in for a social networking platform, such as Twitter or Facebook.Maybe see it as a fad/bandwagon â maybe just too troublesome with signing up, checking, online security etc. But there are other reasons why itâs worth investing yourself in social mediaâŠ>>
- We live in a time when knowledge is increasing at an exponential rate. Peopleâs roles, jobs and skills change many times over a lifetime - so the ability to keep learning essential. Learning is more critical than knowing. âOur ability to learn what we need for tomorrow is more important than what we know todayâ (Siemens)This is a basic principle of connectivism, an influential theory of learning for a digital age first put forward by George Siemens.He also said âthe network is the learningâ - new knowledge can be found in many places, distributed across a network of connections, so in order to learn we need to be able to âconstruct and traverse those networksâ (NB ânetworkâ= the pipeline(how you connect), people (who can tell you what you need to know) or things (e.g. websites, corpus data)In the âoldâ days, new knowledge was only available through universities, conferences or articles. Nowadays this know-how is available to EVERYONE, we just have to know where to look - or who to ask.
- We canât ignore these changes in learning, or weâll be left behind. We all need to learn to travel the network, to gather the knowledge that we need, as individuals. We can feed this greater knowledge back into our wider world to improve practice in classrooms, organisations, the EFL industry, policy-makingâŠThis is one of the main ways we can increase the professionalism of our industry.
- Jigsaw: Set up A/B pairs or groups. A looks at blog, B looks at FB. 5mins, then jigsaw to share findings, with careful monitoring to get a sense of how people feel, any issues.
- It literally takes 1 minute to get an account â you just go to Twitter.com, pick a user name, an email account, a password and youâre ready to go.Hereâs a dummy account I set up yesterday Once youâre in, you can search for people or things to read about â not really reading about people â youâre reading things they think is worth reading (demo, e.g. Scott Thornbury, ELT, pronetc)Explain about hashtags, especially #ELTchat and #AusELT as a way of allowing specific groups of people to connect and share relevant info.24h ago I sent out a tweet to #AusELT and asked âWhat do you get from having an online PLN?â I asked them to reply using the [#networkedteacher] hashtag. This is what they said (search for the tag, read some of the comments!)
- You might be feeling a bit uncertain about using some of the social media networks weâve talked about today. Everybodyâs network is different and is used for different purposes. Weâve talked about blogs, and facebook and Twitter, but thereâs also LinkedIn, Google+, Ning and many more. Donât let the sea of information out there put you off.Start small. You can access the #AusELT network on Twitter without ever having to follow anyone or write a tweet. You can access the #AusELT group on facebook without ever having to become âfriendsâ with anyone in the group or share any personal information. Or you can access the community simply by reading the blog â and you can comment if you want to. Find what works for you. Very useful to have a support buddy too (we can do that!)
- Hand out slips of paper with sentence heads1 minute to complete 1 or more, or all!Compare w/person next to you â can you help? Or do you know someone who can? (set time limit)Good networking! Weâd like to collect your slips because we might be able to help too â put up ideas on the blog, maybe weâll discuss in a Twitter chat, or on Facebook, or through a blog post (collect from those willing)
- Some ways to get startedâŠ
