Who is in your Anti-PLN? Or, Avoiding TeamThink.

 

After thinking about the ways in which we can develop incredibly insulated learning networks, I wanted to create a way to find alternative voices. Eventually, I stumbled across the idea of creating a profile for the types of people that aren’t represented in my networks and then going after them.

From Network to Neighborhood: A New Definition for PLNs

I get to think through PLNs in a new way. Instead of being nodes in a network, I would encourage us to be people in a neighborhood. And rather than demonstrating the far reaches of our network, we should be introducing one another to the “locals”. Those that push us and help us create change. In this video I introduce you to three people in my neighborhood. Special thanks goes to the #etmooc community for helping me to craft this idea and for asking the right questions.

Who are the people in your neighborhood?

Would you consider introducing them to the rest of your “network”?
