Facebook as a Professional Learning Network (PLN)
Facebook as a PLN. I’ve been using my Facebook page as a PLN almost exclusively since I started using Facebook. I didn’t set out to do this, it just happened that way. Yet here I am, again, in media res. It seems I always start in the moment, in the middle of things. Well, this time it would be helpful if I gave you some background.

The Klout Score
http://klout.com/kscore/
The Klout Score is the measurement of your overall online influence.br> The scores range from 0 to 100 with higher scores representing a wider and stronger sphere of influence.
Klout uses over 25 variables to measure True Reach, Amplification Probability, and Network Score. The size of the sphere is calculated by measuring True Reach (engaged followers and friends vs. spam bots, dead accounts, etc.). Amplification Probability is the likelihood that messages will generate retweets or spark a conversation. If the user's engaged followers are highly influential, they'll have a high Network Score.

Harnessing these new technologies to create and grow our own PLNs is imperative for educators who want to stay connected to the changing world we are charged with introducing to our students.
Personal learning networks may open up new worlds, but the technologies that extend our personal and professional learning beyond our immediate proximity can be difficult to understand and control. Here are 10 tips for creating, cultivating, and pruning your PLN.

Building Your Personal Learning Network
While many companies promise that every employee will receive one or two weeks of training per year, learning should take place every day on the job. Learning doesn't take place just in training programs, but should be part of every employee's everyday activities. You learn every time you read a book or article, every time you observe how someone else is doing work similar to your own, every time you ask a question. An important part of learning is to build your own personal learning network -- a group of people who can guide your learning, point you to learning opportunities, answer your questions, and give you the benefit of their own knowledge and experience.
I often use the following four-stage learning model to describe how we learn.

Build your own Personal Learning Network
As a chief technology officer or director of technology, probably one of the toughest challenges you face isn’t keeping up with the technology, but rather understanding how to leverage it for your organization. While in the past, we were limited by the occasions that served as “learning experiences,” in the 21st century, learning isn’t restricted to a special event bound by time and place. We don’t learn just when sitting in a meeting, or at a conference or from 8:00 to 3:30 PM when school is in session. Today, we have the potential to tap into a flow of conversation, a web-based learning ecology, that we can learn from 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

"Personal Learning Environments are systems that help learners take control of and manage their own learning.

Personal Learning Network PLN (Chris Smith)

This page visualises the Personal Learning Network of Chris Smith (Shamblesguru Voom in Second Life)
With growth of the internet, technology and especially with web 2.0 tools it is now easier for each of us to build a unique online Personal Learning Network (PLN).
These networks often grow organically as we ourselves evolve both needs and skills ... with the increase in available information worldwide and easier access there comes a time when it's advisable to pause and reflect.
Not only is this an exercise in time management but also one related to keeping sane under the rapid growth of information available.
With this all in mind I created this page to identify and visualise my own PLN.
