What is a PLN?
PLN stands for Professional Learning Network. This is a place online where teachers can share and learn various teaching resources and strategies. Creating PLN's is all about creating relationships with other trusted teachers, administrators, and experts from all around the world. With these connections teachers can share idea's and collaborate to improve their own lessons and classrooms.
