My PLN and the Connected Student
Below is my PLN. It might be a little bare compared to others as I prefer to have a few apps and such that I use for many purposes as oppose to trying to keep track of a zillion different ones. I have however been inspired by this class to branch out and try new tech tools. Not for personal purposes, but I can see their importance in the professional world for sharing and connecting with other professionals in and out of your field.
And here is a PLN for a typical 21st Century Student:
I made the green arrows to draw the connection to the sites, apps, tools, and devices that apply to both the personal and school categories. I noticed when I was making this that there is less difference between the personal tech world and the school tech world for today's student. They are asked to make educational blogs, twitter accounts, and use their smart phone in class. I think this recent merge of the two worlds will only grow as more and more schools integrate technology into their practices, especially when if they are going to 1:1 route.
