Personal Learning Networks have really evolved as a professional development tool over the last few years. Before we were limited to face to face type interactions, reading web pages, or participating in listservs. Each of these served a purpose but now we have so many more tools at our disposal. To make my point a little easier on the eye I created a graphic for your viewing pleasure.
Anything in yellow represents recent (within the last 5 years) methods for teachers to expand their network for professional development. Think about how this might grow in the next few years.Students are already utilizing these tools teachers should be as well.

I love the way that you put the different ways that teachers access information into a concept map. It really helps to illustrate exactly what the internet can do.
What tool did you use to edit this? I saved it as a jpg and wanted to customize it for myself but I wasn’t sure what the best editing method for this type of graphics would be. I know a little bit of gimp.
