I now get it why I am part of this group - on Ning - that I really had no idea how it worked but I figured it was good because it was affiliated with the Michigan Council of Teachers of English. Oh! I received an e-mail to join, but I did not really get the purpose. It reminded me of Facebook, but with a professional connection. After reading through this thing and looking at other PLNs, I understand it much more.
I think there could be many opportunities for PLNs in my district - where teachers could collaborate online, post things, discuss issues, etc. The biggest issue would be confidentiality - not naming students, not getting too personal, etc. I'm not sure how to avoid the PUBLIC nature of posting your thoughts so everyone (at least those in the group) can read them. Yet, would that be the reason to limit the possibilities?
