My personal learning network was enriched by conversations had on my
blog, in Elluminate, on Moodle forums, within Mahara, on Twitter and through collaborating on Google Docs.

My PLN as I see it now.
My PLE and PLN helping others.Last week I tweeted the link to a beautiful video that captured some time lapse
photography of stars. Hours later I saw that my tiny input had produced content, on the blog of a science class, on the other side of the world.
