Professional Learning Networks help teachers connect across

school districts, the country and the world. They allow teachers

to present their best selves. It is an effective way to communicate.

PLN's allow for immense collaboration

experiences amongst professionals.

Teachers can share resources, lesson plans

and projects. Teachers can even use their PLN

to create global projects with other teachers.

PLN's help those in remote locations

to expand their network. They are not

limited to a style of teaching that is restricting

due to geography.

In an ever globalizing world, PLN's allow

students and teachers to experience the future

of the world as it happens. PLN's are a real representation

of the direction the world is moving. The more teachers and students

learn to connect and collaborate internationally, the more they

will be prepared to operate in the economic world.
