When asked in “What are Personal Learning Networks” to think of where you learn, I quickly thought “in a classroom.” However, after fully reading the article it made me realize “Wow” in reality so little of my learning actually occurs in a classroom setting, most of it really does occur in a PLN. In “What is a Personal Learning Network” I began to wonder if online learning networks are truly the best thing for us. It discusses how great it is to be connected online but I think this is counter intuitive; for if you are to watch the Ted talk “Connected but alone” by Sherry Turkle it can make you question whether this online connection that has been created will cause more harm to us than good. After seeing the two different sides, I want to further investigate and look into studies of the effects of our online world.
