I was looking at all some really complex charts on personal learning networks (PLNs); and was thinking how intimidating they must be for those just starting to grow a network. Sometimes simple can be more powerful. After all … All PLNs start with a single connection.

Get Connected!

    Frank,
    Simple and succinct, I like the graphic and what it entails. It is what most of us are about. Thank you for sharing it!
  • I, too, love your graphic :-) Thanks for sharing it! I've just used it in a post on the ManACE Memos blog - http://www.manace.ca/blog - to spread the word about an upcoming session called 'Getting Connected' that John Evans and I are hosting.
  • Frank,

    Thanks you for this. So simple yet so profound. Every journey begins with a single step. Thank you for sharing.
  • I saw your digram on this huge list of 'PLE' diagrams: http://edtechpost.wikispaces.com/PLE+Diagrams#cann

    Some of them were so overwhelming that yours stood out to me as simple, succint, and completely accurate. Great interpretation!

    This graphic is great; I'm new to twitter, trying to grow my PLN most via RSS feeds, definitely a lurker at this point; it is intimidating to read the posts of the "heavy weights" in education; I'm a media specialist in a small city trying to help other teachers "get on board" the tech learning train; getting my MA in ed tech has been an eye-opener for me on all that is available (mostly free), just need to know where to look; thanks to you and those on your blogroll that keep sharing with the rest of us - really appreciate it!
  • Frank, thank you for the excellent KIS reminder! Youi sparked a thought to always keep in mind that many of us tend to forget as we work in the global learning community. I too will ise it with attribution as a way to keep my mind in a KIS focus.
  • Thanks Cathy, that was the hope anyway, nice to hear that it worked .. hehe.

    Mary .. connecting is so special, isn't it? Thanks.

    This is a wonderful blog. When I joined CCK08, the Connectivism course, I wondered if there was a group of educators who were interested in networking around issues related to K12 education. It looks like you have done a great job connecting with bloggers who share a passion for learning and a zeal for life.
  • Liz, thanks a bunch ... the feeling is mutual. Would be a real treat and honor for you to use my graphic as you please.

    :) Frank

    Saw Liz's comment on twitter. The graphic does a great job of turning a scary social networking session into one item for conversation and reflection. Thanks!
  • Frank,
    This is an awesome graphic. I absolutely love it. It is so simple and so clear. Thanks for sharing it. I will definitely pass it on and use it (with attribution of course) in future workshops. Love it! Love it! Love it! Thanks for being a part of my PLN.
