Here is a great link with 5 tips for creating your PLN (personal learning network).  The suggestions were written for Twitter, but would also help with Plurk.

One of the people I am following just posted this link for finding other teachers on Twitter.  I found it very helpful and thought I would share.  Have already gotten some helpful information from the new teachers I’m following.

It sounds like many of you are having a hard time building a PLN on Plurk and/or Twitter. Please remember, it takes time!

I suggest you check out the following video and links to help you get started.

EVER. Isn’t it amazing at the connections you can make all through a simple social networking site like Twitter? What’s next? Oh the possibilities…
