PLN's are another form of reference and research. PLN's are the people, websites, and other tools you can use to help in your classroom. You, as a teacher, want to show your students the world beyond Google. You can pull up your Symbaloo account to find the correct way to write an MLA formatted paper. You can use the professions you have met through your networks for advice on forming a thesis on "Romeo and Juliet." Instead of googling a questions about The Hunger Games, why not ask the author of that novel? These things are all made possible through the use of Personal Learning Networks.
Hi Meaghan great post. I like your idea of not just googling the book but asking the author, this way the kids can interact with people rather than just use technology. I look forward to reading more of your post.
