Who is in your PLN?
Your PLN (Professional Learning Network) is a place where you can develop your own personalized professional "network" of fellow educators and resources. A PLN is designed to make you a more knowledgable educator, as it opens up your learning opportunities on a global level. Establishing your own PLN is an essential step toward deepening your abilities as an educator. As you begin to develop your PLN, think about who you choose to be in your PLN. Follow professionals who guide and inspire you!
