Hello everyone!

Hello everyone!

Thank you all for your engagement in last week’s reading through Hypothesis. You did a great job by adding about 60 annotations to the text. I hope you find it useful to read together and learn more about each other’s thoughts and reflections.

This week we will talk about Personal Learning Networks in practice.

It might happen to all of us to work hard on an old project and try to revise it over and over to make it better. However, it doesn’t turn into the desired result. We need something to shake up our work and help us to refresh our thinking. This is where a Personal Learning Network (PLN) comes into play, offering an effective avenue for transformative thinking. In this week’s reading, we will delve deeper into the concept of PLNs, exploring how they can empower us to approach our work from a new and dynamic standpoint. By embracing the potential of a PLN, we open doors to novel insights and innovative approaches that can breathe new life into our creative endeavors.

We will learn more about the subject by reviewing this week’s readings.  Please consider the following questions while reading through this week’s materials.

  • Building a reputation and trust in a connected culture can be difficult, how are you building a network of individuals who are dynamic, reliable, and participatory?
  • Are you leveraging healthy relationships from your PLN for growth?

For this week, please add at least three annotations to the reading.

You might annotate something that you would like to discuss more thoroughly, have questions about, or something you strongly agree or disagree with. You can also reply to the annotations your peers make, engaging in discussion as needed.

Each week, I appreciate you completing the annotations by the Tuesday before our next class.
