Some of us are just becoming aware of PLN. Maybe when we are more used to it ourselves, it´s easier to encourage students

It is very interesting to see the range of tools people are using. Many of these tools seem to be based upon the traditional student/teacher relationship. Does this reflect upon our choice of pedagogies? (Kay)

While many suggestions here are focused on students working together, the idea of a PLN is that it is how an individual can create their own networks with a broader range of people/resources beyond their own student group. With connective technologies students and educators can make connections widely, to seek original research and primary sources. It is not something that can be made compulsory, and it will not suit everyone as it can be time consuming to maintain connections however with an open mindset and an understanding of a variety of social technologies learning that goes beyond the classroom is possible.
