Personal Learning Network, or "PNL"

As Nik Peachy says, teachers need to keep on learning all the time... 

It is true that teachers had gone through a learning period at their teacher training collages until they became professionals. But even if they have already graduated form these institutions, they need to keep on learning. That is so because there are many new things, devices, theories, techniques educators don't know of and can help them become better professionals. One way of keeping up with their educational developments is by having personal learning networks. 

                                

There are many social networks that can help teachers develop their personal learning networks such as these:

                             
The ones I use are Facebook, Twitter, Diigo, Scoop.it, and Blogger. I have other social networks too, but I don't find them as useful for my personal learning as the ones I have mentioned.
These are some people, groups and pages I like/follow on different social networks:

• Facebook: I like different pages which share interesting ideas to teachers and I am also part of different groups: English is Fun (https://www.facebook.com/EnglishIF?fref=ts), APIBA (https://www.facebook.com/apiba?fref=ts), EDAPI (https://www.facebook.com/edapijvg?fref=ts) and Cursando en el Joaquin (https://www.facebook.com/groups/222818077730892/?fref=ts) and Multimedia Applied to ELT (https://www.facebook.com/groups/233562783450728/?fref=ts).
• Twitter: I follow Krashen (https://twitter.com/skrashen), Nik Peachy (https://twitter.com/NikPeachey), Graham Stanley (https://twitter.com/grahamstanley), Esol courses (https://twitter.com/esolcourses), and many more. 
• Diigo: I follow a group for Mobile Learning ( https://groups.diigo.com/group/mobile-learning), and a group I share with other colleges who have taken a course on Multimedia (https://groups.diigo.com/group/multimedia-applied-to-elt)

Personal learning networks help teachers to access information and evaluate them. Later on, after having evaluated the info, teachers can decide how to apply the new things they have learnt in their own classes.
