Building a PLN at Parkville
In addition to creating your own PLN, it is beneficial to create a PLN within your school. You most likely are already communicating with your colleagues so this should be easy.
Lino
We have covered Twitter and Pinterest already and they are certainly excellent options for creating a PLN inside the school. However, another option is Lino. Lino is a virtual bulletin board on which you can post and edit "sticky notes". A group bulletin board has been created with a note for each department. By editing the note, individuals can share people to follow on twitter, blogs to follow, Pinterest boards to follow or any other resources that might be helpful. Anyone can post on the "notes" so feel free to share ideas with other departments as well. Participation in the school Lino would create an incredibly valuable resource for collaboration between faculty and staff in the building.
