It is important to create a Personal Learning Network that includes new voices to “shake up” your current ideas. A strong PLN is vital to help create better learning. According to the article Building your own PLN: seeking new insights and ideas? Expand your personal learning network by Bianca Woods, all PLNs are different since we all have different interests, focuses, and needs, and one’s PLN can only be fruitful if it reflects you. You can take the step to build your PLB by asking the people around you about their experiences and what they’re interested in, and then really listen to what they have to say. To share your ideas with others in order to gain insight from them. To take advantage of technology will also help broaden and strengthen your PLN. To look beyond your field of interest – a strong PLN includes individuals in completely different lines of work. According to Woods, A PLN should never be a one-way street. It should be a way for you to help others as well. The more you contribute to your PLN, the more others will want to help you.
