Power+of+the+PLN

A (PLN) Personal Learning Network, also referred to as a Personal Learning Community, is defined as an informal learning network that consists of the people a learner interacts with and derives knowledge from in a personal learning environment. In a PLN, a person makes a connection with another person with the specific intent that some type of learning will occur because of that connection.
