“PLN is an acronym for Personal Learning Network. The acronym is relatively new, but the idea is not.
Teachers have always had learning networks—people we learn from and share with. Teachers are information
junkies. We’re also social. Put the two together and you have a personal learning network.”

Middle School Dean of Students & Middle School Science Teacher
“I have used my PLN to reshape my ever-evolving curriculum. The resources, easy access to information, and connections that I have made using Twitter alone
has changed the way I view education on a global scale. It has enabled me to not only feel supported as an educator, but has allowed me to support others.”
@ACFirstGrade Kasandra Stark
First Grade Teacher
“My PLN re-ignited my passion for teaching and learning.”
@RyanMBurkeRyan Burke
Head of Middle School
“My PLN has meant that without very much effort, I have help at my fingertips. If I want more information
about anything, I can get it instantaneously, tailored for my specific needs, and there are actual people
attached to the information that I could/have/will call if I need help understanding any of it.”
