Personal Learning Network (PLN)

A Personal Learning Network, or PLN, can be used for more than just bookmarking your most used sites.  Say you're looking at articles about how to better engage your students, or you find a really cool website with educational games for your students, instead of saving it and never remember what it was you can put it in your Google Bookmarks!  This allows you to put a description of what you are saving for future use.  You can also categorize each site you save whether it is for your personal use, educational, or maybe even a good cooking recipe!  You can also inform parents about all of the sites being used in the classroom through a newsletter or monthly email.  This will allow parents to also take a look at what their child is exposed to through the internet when they are not able to monitor them.
