PLN benefits

In my emerging technology, the topic of PLNs has been introduced.  PLN is a personal
learning network known to help learners collaborate and create networks.  Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter can be customized to fit a PLN.  PLNs are effective because they can be manipulated to fit the learner.  Videos and images can be placed in PLN to help learners visualize the content in the instruction.  Forums can be added to create a space for ideas to be discussed and argued.  The great thing about creating a PLN is that people can easily engage in discussion anywhere around the world.  One site that can be used to create your PLN is ning.  Ning i s a site to help create your own social media site.  Since most students are familiar with social media, the site can be integrated easily into a class lesson or curriculum.
