media type="custom" key="10003455" //"PLN is an acronym for **P**ersonal **L**earning **N**etwork. The acronym is relatively new, but the idea is not. Teachers have always had learning networks—people we learn from and share with. Teachers are information junkies. We’re also social. Put the two together and you have a personal learning network." // ~Barbara Hoskins Sakamoto

//"PLN: n. – the entire collection of people with whom you engage and exchange information, usually online." // ~Kate Klingensmith
