Personal Learning Networks

I was unable to find any personal learning networks dedicated specifically to special ed; however, I was able to locate a PLN for educators in general that had a good variety of materials, blogs, and discussions for all types of teachers. The Educators' PLN has over 12,000 members contributing to the site in a multitude of different ways. I like that there is a good variety of resources available included with this PLN. Not only is there a forum with almost 500 different discussions for teachers to communicate ideas, struggles, and advice with one another, there are also links to over 1,000 blogs written by teachers, a live chat, links to other educationally oriented websites, and helpful videos. I thought that this PLN provided a lot of good resources for all types of teachers who are either seeking assistance with issues in their classrooms or who want to provide advice to others.
