This document defines and explains personal learning networks (PLNs), which allow individuals to extend their learning outside the classroom by engaging with others online. A PLN involves connecting with people who can guide one's learning by sharing knowledge, resources, experiences and answering questions. Benefits of PLNs include learning new things, collaborating, getting validation and building camaraderie. Various online tools that can be used to build a PLN are described, including Twitter, Diigo, 際際滷Share and Flickr. Maintaining a PLN is important for teachers to stay current and teach in a way that engages students.

Editor's Notes
- #15: http://www.treehugger.com/US-bike-sharing-program-denver.jpgThis is the new form of the golden rule. But it really is true out here in cyberspace, the more you share, the more you get back. This is a lesson being learned by companies who have embraced the open source model.The other key concept here is the notion of generalized reciprocity, also referred to by Wayne Baker, as the network of reciprocity. He says: Acts of contribution, big and small, build your fund of social capital, creating a vast network of reciprocity. A network of reciprocity reaches far and wide. And so those who help you may not be those you help. The help you receive may come from the distant corners of the network; it may come unbidden and unasked for the dance of Shiva, All that is best for us comes of itself into our handsbut if we strive to overtake it, it perpetually eludes us.
