 * Forming a Personal Learning Network for Professional Learning**

**Do you need a Personal Network? Can you get by accessing your knowledge the traditional way? You can, but my experience tells me that if you want to be at the forefront of current thinking, then the formation of a PLN is essential. Maybe you need one connected Teacher-Librarian or Teacher in every school who is given the time to network and 'find the good stuff' so they can disseminate it amongst staff and enable learning for all.**
