This week, I learned about my professional learning network (PLN). A PLN is any network that you create to learn from and share with others (Common Sense Education, 2017). This network comes from the people you interact with and the internet. I found my PLN through social media, Michigan State, school and family. To learn about my PLN, I used an interactive mind map tool called Coggle. Coggle allows anyone to create and share mind maps. It allowed me to understand where my PLN comes from.

As I created my map, I thought about the people I know. I receive information from my workplace, Michigan State, professional development, family and social media. These networks allow me to engage in content that gives new tips and tricks to try in the classroom. While making my map, I realized the amount of supports that are in my network is endless. I can reach out to any of the branches at any time to share ideas.
