The Power of Connection: Building a Personal Learning Network, writing homework help

Forward-thinking educators have begun purposefully building online
social networks, known as Personal Learning Networks (PLN)s, of
colleagues and experts in the field. Rather than see social networks as
an annoyance or way of wasting time, these educators have made them an
invaluable means of personal and professional growth. Business
professionals can benefit from following their lead. Creating a PLN
often is a guide for professionals and committed lifelong learners to
help build relationships with others from all over the world. With
careful work and commitment to building and maintaining a PLN, the
possibilities for connection are endless.

Submit a 3-page paper in which you create the plan for your PLN. Your paper should include the following:

• A description of what networks and tools you will use to create your PLN, including a brief rationale for each
• Information you will present in your professional
  profile (which may be placed on one or more social media platforms),
  including specific text you will use to identify yourself and your
  interests for those who might be interested in following you or joining
  your PLN
• A categorized, annotated list of at least 5
  people or groups that you might add to your PLN (through their Twitter
  feed, blog, LinkedIn page, etc.), including the following for each
  person or group:
  • A brief (1–2 paragraphs) rationale for why you would include the person or group in your PLN
  • A brief (1 paragraph) description of the process
    by which you found the person or group you added to your PLN, e.g., by
    browsing a group’s Twitter feed and then deciding to add it to your own
    PLN, by locating another person the group’s feed follows, by finding a
    group on Facebook and deciding to send a friend request to an individual
    within that group, etc.
• Support your work with a minimum of two specific citations per page from this week’s Learning Resources and/or additional scholarly sources.

Please Note: For each page of your paper, you must include a minimum of two APA-formatted scholarly citations.
