I've found a numerous amount of possible Personal Learning Networks today.
This is the first one. It has many posts regarding the many different topics. I took an online test that a teacher administered to his class that dealt with general intelligence. The format was pretty formal, but I could see that it was personalized as well. There were also links to forum discussions.
The second one served as a meet up, "an extended and ongoing conference" for teachers to have topics about their content areas. However, since it is a Yahoo! group, I need to be a member to check it out. It might be interesting to see how one becomes a member--Do I have to know someone?
I was slightly surprised to see this particular website be used as a possible PLN. However, it was effective to linking social media outlets to the classroom, filled with teaching strategies and even articles for learning how to integrate technology into the classroom.
Finally, this website had numerous other links to social media outlets and other important connections for teachers, some I had heard of (Twitter, Edutopia, for example), and others I had not (Edmodo and Schoolology). I think this will be an important link to have for the future if I am trying to take a diverse approach to each of my classrooms for years to come.
