The best thing about my personal learning network / neighborhood is the relationships. We follow each other on Twitter and in blogs, Google hangout on topics of interest, and join communities in Google Plus and Flickr. We know the interests and issues dear to us, and share, connect, and collaborate on those interests through our connections in these online areas. We celebrate our successes together and we move forward together from failure. We support each other in our projects, often collaborating to make them successful. And we nudge each other to new ideas or revisions. In the rush of our lives in our separate worlds we connect to learn and grow in spots.

What do I mean?  Check it out:

Fellowship of the Open Spokes Channel and Community

a group of educators sharing their world in topics that affect education founded by Ben Wilkoff

Edugood and TFotoFri (this one with Denise Krebs )Flickr Groups [ You may even meet them! ]

#midleved and #geniushour Twitter hashtags — by so many amazing eductors

Making Learning Connected #clmooc — with many of the amazing people of National Writing Project and Connected Learning

Check out the ideas in the vlogs, blogs, tweets, and comments on each of those links and you will read and view the connections among the participants — in and out, here and there, but definitely connections of relationship — of caring and supporting each other.

Then, join in. Because the best thing about your PLN will be the relationships you build.
