A Personal Learning Network is a source for someone to use to learn things. This can help me as a teacher because it can teach me things I don't already know as well as help my students learn things. After watching Michael Fawcett's Offer His Insights video you see how useful PLN is because one of his students had a space question and after putting it on twitter it was answered within thirty minutes by no other then NASA themselves. How cool was that? Very. To me that is a great example of using your sources. You form your own PLN however you want to. A good way to start off is by adding all the social media sights you use then adding people that is in your same field of studies. So for me I would start adding and following teachers since that is what I am going to school for. I looked into Symbaloo and I think that is a great way to keep your PLN organized. It seemed very easy to use and was very structural.
