Firstly, PLN stands for personal (or professional) learning network. That’s fine but what is a personal learning network and why would we need one?
Well a PLN is a group of people, any people, that can help you to develop and learn. I think it’s very important to stress that a PLN is people, because so much talk about PLN gets tangled up in technology and websites etc, but at the heart of PLN is the concept of people who connect together to help each other grow and learn.
The technology comes in because it is a tool that can help you to connect to those people and it can help you process the information you get from those people into meaningful and hopefully useful knowledge.
