A new PLN?
I’ve been fascinated by the ideas of a Personal Learning Network (PLN) for ages now, pretty much ever since I first heard about it.
Perhaps this is why Steve Wheeler’s (is that @timbuckteeth or @stevewheeler? But that’s another story) latest blog post made me think long and hard about it again. The images/slides below are from Joyce Seitzinger’s (@catspyjamasnz) “Professional Learning Environment (PLN) model” presented recently in Melbourne, Australia.
Click the images above to read Steve’s original post on the sildes, as presented by Joyce.
It is important to note that the tools listed in the ‘deisgn’ slide are not the recommended tools but rather an indication of what ‘could’ be used, and that you insert your own personal preferences for each segment.
So, what do you think … does it strike a chord for you like it did for me.
PS. here is my PLN that I ‘devised’ back in December 2009:
Love it, David. Strikes a chord with me.
Good stuff David! It does strike a chord, but my problem is my PLN changes every day! :)
I would say you had an interesting view as well. I’m caught off guard that the descriptions for the second and fourth quadrant are exactly the same but the content inside them are different.
