Personal learning networks are a great way for educators to get connected with learning opportunities, access professional development resources, and to build camaraderie with other education professionals. Although PLNs have been around for years, in recent years social media has made it possible for these networks to grow exponentially. Now, it’s possible to expand and connect your network around the world anytime, anywhere. But how exactly do you go about doing that? Check out our guide to growing your personal learning network with social media, full of more than 30 different tips, ideas, useful resources, and social media tools that can make it all possible.
Internet, pour se cultiver, pour apprendre, pour le plaisir d’échanger et de confronter ses idées, c’est à cet Internet que nous nous intéressons. On connaît tous le moteur de recherche comme outil pour trouver l’information dont on a besoin. Mais cette recherche n’est que la première étape d’un apprentissage. Comprendre, analyser, valider, confronter, synthétiser sont des actions qui permettent d’aller plus loin et de s’approprier des connaissances.
Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) do exactly what they say on the can - they are personal to each individual, created by them, owned by them, used by them within their lifelong learning. Originally a counterpoint to the institutional Managed Learning Environment (iMLE or 'VLE'), PLEs are becoming a much talked about concept, and were the prime focus of the recently held PLE Conference in Cornella, Barcelona. Delegates at the conference could not agree whether PLEs should remain the sole domain of the learner, or whether in some way they could be incorporated into institutional infrastructures. Some argued strongly for sole student ownership, vehemently opposed to any institutional meddling in a personal learning environment. Others held the position that PLEs should have some insitutional provision incorporated within them. Still others thought that PLEs should be part of the institutional infrastructure, brought within the protective envelope of the university fire wall. Many located themselves in middle ground positions. My personal view is that students own and create their PLE but that the iMLE also has something to offer them, even though it is highly problematic in its current form. I am arguing that many students tend to avoid using the iMLE because they either find it difficult to use, or irrelevant to their daily learning needs. It is a clash of concepts, no bridge seems possible, and the problem appears to be intractable.

Selon Wikipédia, une carte heuristique (du grec ancien εὑρίσκω, eurisko, "je trouve"), appelée aussi carte des idées, schéma de pensée, carte mentale, arbre à idées ou topogramme (mind map en anglais), est un diagramme qui représente les connexions sémantiques entre différentes idées, les liens hiérarchiques entre différents concepts intellectuels. C'est le plus souvent une représentation arborescente des données. Basée sur les avancées dans le domaine des neurosciences, la méthode a été mise au point par le psychologue anglais Tony Buzan dans les années 70. Elle est censée faciliter la pensée logique et la créativité en assurant un fonctionnement conjoint, harmonieux et optimal des deux hémisphères du cerveau. cerveau droit (couleurs, images, formes, rythmes, sentiments)
cerveau gauche (mots, parole, analyse, logique, nombres, linéarité)
Bev Novak from Mentone Grammar School encourages educators to start developing their Personal Learning Network (PLN) and discover the joy of lifelong learning - learning anything, anytime, anywhere with anybody they choose.

La formation tout au long de la vie passe bien sûr par des temps formels de formation, mais aussi par des lectures et beaucoup d'interactions qui multiplient les opportunités d'apprendre. Comment bâtir son réseau personnel d'apprentissage ?

A personal learning network is a method of linking kids and adults to major sources of information on the Internet. It is like choosing your closest friends that you want to listen to because they keep you up
to date, you trust what they have to say, and it is your method of keeping current on what is going on. Will Richardson has created a very very important book here that every teacher should read and
implement both in their own lives and in the lives of their students. Will provides a number of tools that help all of us link to our favorites and even provides directions for getting started with each tool he recommends.
More importantly, he describes and promotes the idea of the classroom (and we can say Learning Commons) where PLNs are as natural as plugging in and turning on. The book is entitled : Personal Learning Networks: Using the Power of Connections to Transform Education
Here are some great video tutorials on how to create and use your own PLN
What Is A PLN?
Through the use of my own Personal Learning Network (PLN), I came across several great examples that both define what a PLN is, and explain the value of creating one for yourself. According to a wikispace about creating PLNs, “Personal Learning Networks are systems that help learners take control of and manage their own learning. This includes providing support for learners to: 1) set their own learning goals 2) manage their learning; managing both content and process 3) communicate with others in the process of learning and thereby achieve learning goals Simply put: A PLN is a system for lifelong learning.”
These are the slides from the presentation about personal learning networks that I gave at NCTIES. Under the slides I have included a few of the points that stressed in the session.

Over the next five years, the K-12 education community is expected to adopt six new technologies that will affect both teaching and learning. Teachers, curriculum designers, students and parents will all be impacted, and for the better, the K-12 classroom will never be the same.
Personal Learning Networks, or PLNs, have been around forever. Originally, they were your family and friends, maybe other educators you worked with, but as the internet and web 2.0 tools have become nearly ubiquitous, PLNs can include tons of different communities – social networking sites like Facebook, blogs, Twitter, wikis, social bookmarking tools, LinkedIn, and so many more. Basically, anyone that you interact with is apart of your PLN, whether they are social contacts, professional peers, or experts in their field. Most of the ‘learning’ takes place on-line now, because it is simple to find and connect with others with similar interests from around the world.

This is a ning site dedicated to the support of a Personal Learning Network for Educators...
Personal learning networks have always existed, but modern technology has put a new spin on how and where we connect with others. These days, personal learning networks, or PLNs, extend far beyond friends, family, coworkers, college classmates, and teachers, and can encompass experts and learners from around the world in just about any given field.
Through social networks, email, video, and online chats, learners can connect with and learn from a wider range of people than ever before, yet building a successful PLN that doesn't overwhelm you can be challenging. With so much information out there, it can be hard to know whom to follow, what to read, and how to fit it all into your daily schedule. Here, we offer some tips that can help you not only build and grow a better PLN, but also get more out of the experience and give more back to your online community.
