<p>Wow!</p>
<p>I'm actually in a course that is currently teaching us about the whole PLN thing. I had no idea that this was so big....and surprisingly, it seems that I was doing the whole PLN thing without even knowing it (or knowing what it was).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nevertheless, i still consider myself somewhat of a "newby" according to you. I've joined a couple communities but have not contributed to much of the blogs and forums associated with them. Now that I have a more precise understanding…</p>

<p>Nevertheless, i still consider myself somewhat of a "newby" according to you. I've joined a couple communities but have not contributed to much of the blogs and forums associated with them. Now that I have a more precise understanding of the whole Personal Learning Network (the concept and examples of it), thanks to the course that I'm currently completing, I'm all over these communities, posting away.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I really look forward to networking and sharing information, experiences, suggestions and the like with so many experts in the field.</p>

<p>Instead of the usual Blogs, wikis etc.....If i were a beginner, I woudl prefer the new "project" centered options as aPLN, like:</p>
<p>Learnist: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PgIkbMVC1do">http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PgIkbMVC1do</a></p>
<p>Themeefy: <a href="http://themeefy.com/getStarted" target="_blank">http://themeefy.com/getStarted</a></p>
<p></p>
<p>I also like MightyBell...but it is not running…</p>

<p></p>
<p>I also like MightyBell...but it is not running yet....</p>
<p></p>
<p>Maybe offer options....</p>
<p></p>
<p>Suggest: Do you prefer a collections of bookmarks? (delicious)</p>
<p>Do you prefer a collection of articles? (scoopit or paperli)</p>
<p>Do you prefer a collection of ideas? (evernote, livebinder)</p>
<p>Do you prefer a collection of videos? (youtube Education)</p>
<p>Do you prefer a collection of images? (pinterest)</p>
<p>Do you prefer a collection of posts? (Blogs)</p>
<p>Do you prefer a collection of permanent posts (wikis)</p>
<p></p>
<p>Anyway...I would like choices......and if I were new...I would want to know that there are options....</p>
<p></p>
<p>These are just the first things off my head, you woudl need to be mre specific for your staff needs....</p>
<p></p>
<p>OH- And remember to promote a continuum (with any of the formats) if they are using it in a student/leanring context to demonstrate continuuity over the grades.....</p>
