10 Postives, No Negatives. Why Not?

            In the article “10+ Ways to Promote a Learning Culture in your School (revisited)” by Karl Fisch it goes in to detail about the purpose behind students writing PLN’s and what a PLN really is in 10 reasons. As we have learned in class a PLN is a ‘Personal Learning Network.’ This is basically a way to respond, comprehend and think on a different and higher level about the things you are reading. You do this by making connections, expressing your opinion on the topic and much more to expand your thinking and understanding. I really connected to this article because PLN’s are something as an English class we do on a regular basis and I personally think they are great ways to improve on our writing styles, making connections and much more. Mr. Fisch really explains this and how students and teachers that aren’t using these at their school can bring them into the classrooms and how they can do it.

            I hope that a lots of students and teachers are able to find access to this blog because I really think if it was applied in more classrooms across the state, even across the country it would help expand countless students abilities to understand what they are reading and make text to text, text to self and text to world connections that really challenge their learning. At the same time they’d be practicing their writing and just improving themselves even more. I really don’t see any negative results from bringing PLN’s into the classroom. They are a terrific strategy and I believe that they really to challenge and extend your reading, writing and mostly your learning.
