I just taught my department about professional learning communities (PLN) last week and would have loved to have had this webpage from InformEd. PLNs are ways that people find new information beyond their school walls.
It begins with explaining what groups you might want to join and then the protocol you would use when you join. It also has links to a number of groups you can join. I actually use Twitter and Google+ which are not on the group, but the author has several others to choose. I also use Netvibes which allows me to look at updates from webpages to which I just added the InformEd page.
Next it discusses sites you can use to keep your websites. The one I use is Diigo. Essentially the sites that are listed are ways to bookmark your webpages in the cloud. As with the previous section, it has lots of links.

- Google+ Personal Learning Community And Hangouts
Google+ was never slow to find users, but it has taken some time to get people to look at it a lot. It now has more people using it than Twitter. One of the reason for that is the hangouts in which you can meet with nine other people (and...
- Diigo For Your Android Or Iphone
Okay, here is installment #2 for your Android or iPhone which lets you save pages to your Diigo account. If you don't have Diigo, then you might want to consider it as it lets you save urls, categorize them and then even lock them...
