I think I can build an effective personal learning network through the following points.
- Pursue elites with high quality and diversity
- Looking for high-quality elites and establishing reliable relationships with them is very important for personal learning networks. In addition to high quality, diversity is also important so that I can ask for help when I face any problem.
- Talk less and listen more
Talking too much about my strengths will make others in my PLN feel dangerous. Others may feel that I want to get a lot from them, so they don’t want to continue to associate with me. I need to give others more opportunities to talk, so that I can learn from them and get closer with them.
- Maintaining relationships is more important than developing new ones
Socializing is nothing more than meeting new ones and maintaining old ones. Both are important, but maintaining relationships is more important. People are addicted to social activities and parties, but they don’t sincerely spend time talking deeply with others. Only by deeply understanding each other in the personal learning network can I make better use of it.
