P.L.N.....Personal Learning Network




The Educators Personal Learning Network is a network in which ESL/EFL teachers can refer to when needs ideas and keep in touch with other teachers in around the world!

When exploring this website I noticed some really nifty things that would beneficial in any ESL/EFL classroom. Some of the major headlines on this site were as followed:

My Page:  Easy set-up! (all it involves is an e-mail address and a password)
Members:  Comment or "give a call" to over 11,000 members who can give you advice or ideas for your classroom
Videos:  Want to critically think about something?  The video headliner will allow you to access many different types of videos from Online Learning to Digital Learning in a Social Studies classroom
Forum:  Search, comment, and reply on several topics relating to learning
Events:  Attend or view events in your area (some of these events will allow you to stay home and attend right at your own computer!)
Groups:  Join groups that allow you to have say in several ideas.  Some groups I thought were important were Language Learners and  IPads in the classroom.
Blogs:  Blogs, blogs, and more blogs!  View several blogs posted by teachers, professionals, and parents of students!
Leaderboards:  Have a question of want to see the #1 video? Check it out!

You've highlighted some features that sound quite motivational. It's good to know where to look for answers as well as where to share ideas about what works in the classroom and what doesn'.t
