What is a Personal Learning Network?
Remember a time when a major change occurred in your life such as first time homeownership, adoption of a new pet, or relocation to another city?
Suddenly, you were highly motivated to learn as much as possible about that change. You quickly sought out knowledge and information from a variety of experts and your friends. Then, you organized what you discovered and verified its accuracy with others. In short, you created a Personal Learning Network that gave you immediate access to diverse sources about your interest area.
Your Personal Learning Network enabled you to engage with a learning community of individuals with a similar learning need. Also, you probably reflected on how what you learned matched with your personal experiences. Eventually, you became a source of expertise in this interest area for others.
