How to get started with your PLN:
Leave comments on teachers, and students blogs. If you find them particularly interesting look them up, read what they have to say, and contact them using these sites:
Twitter, RSS Feeds, Blogging, Podcasts, Classmates, Teachers, Email, Youtube, Delicious, Evernote, Glogster, and Skype
Never be afraid to google a topic, which may lead you to a site, classroom, or person that you can add to your PLN.
