5. The professional network learning collaborative (PNLC) 6.
Metcalfe's law states that the value of a telecommunications
network is proportional to the square of the number of connected
users of the system (n2). Big Idea: stay connected with like minded
peers. 7. Excerpt from DA magazine
http://www.districtadministration.com/viewarticle.aspx?articleid=2547
A PLN is a network of fellow professionals, many, if not most, of
whom you havent met in person but with whom you share your job
related epiphanies, questions and all-around support. A PLN can
have 20 members; it can have 2,000. You need a PLNif not several!
You need a group of folks you can trust who will clue you in to the
latest and greatest. As a leader of a school district or building
or classroom, you need to know what new ideas are floating about,
what old ideas are being reinvented, and what old ideas are being
discredited. It is hard to meet such people face-to-face due to
complex schedules and different locales, and phone conferences are
not that easy to put together either. PLNs use Twitter, Facebook,
or some other social networking tool to communicate. 8. A brief
