The first time I heard about PLN was last year in an educational technology course at New Mexico State University. I learned that PLN is about connecting with others through the web to create a knowledge building community in which we learn from each other and expand learning of each other through sharing the resources and ideas about o topic of interest.
Twitter is one of my biggest PLN. My first tweet was in 2011. I was in Las Cruces, NM Studying PhD in education when my people, Egyptian people, protested against the regime of President Hosni Mubarak I wished if I am there. But Twitter enabled me to be up to date with what was happening there. The Egyptian protestors were taking live photos and video from the event and upload it to Youtube and tweet it, so the world could see what was happening, which played a great role in succeeding the revolution
Classroom 2.0 is another important PLN from me. Classroom 2.0 is a social network for those interested in Web 2.0 and social media in education. The first time I heard about ETMOOC was in classroom 2.0.
This is my PLN:
