Why would it be important for me to have a PLN???

Yes, that was my first impression. I own a computer, so I can Google whatever I don't know, I have a facebook account and a blog ( with 2 entries) from a previous class I took on technology, so I thought I was pretty much a digital native. Was I so very wrong. Let me tell you why, within days I learned I had very little or no knowledge at all of social networks. I'm just starting a course on technology named "Adult Learning at the Workplace" and when I started reading the pre-assignments I started to freak-out. There was so many things I didn't have a clue about, terms I had not heard about, programs, social networks I didn't know existed, apps on google?? OMG!!!! I felt very overwhelmed. So little by little, with a lot of Google-ing, and emails to my mentor, I kind of got the hang of this. I am no expert yet, I still have to look at tutorials for many simple things, but I have come to accept that I have to dive in. I'm a kindergarten teacher in an international school, where we have access to everything we want, technology included. And to be honest, I see children with ipads, computers, digital devices and I know that sooner than later I will have to teach them, not how to use them, but how to get the best out of those devices. So after reading, typing, blogging, tweeting and google-ing ( I still invent a lot of terms) I have come to good terms with all of these. I want to, more than I need to, learn how to be tech-social network-friendly. I hope that I can keep up with everything, and also encourage others to learn because this is not meant to make our lives complicated, it just gives us an insight to a lot of information available, so we can decide what we need, what we want and what we like. With PLN we can share, learn, and also advice. We can become more natives than immigrants and thats what all of this is about.
