In this article Tracy Maniapoto discusses the concept of Online Personal Learning Networks (or OPLNs). While this is a topic we have discussed in class, and the idea made sense to me at that time, I enjoyed Maniapoto’s points about how to choose resources. She asked herself two main questions: “What are my current information needs both professionally and with my studies?” and “With whom, what or where do I need to connect to help me address these needs?” She spends the remainder of the article discussing how she answered those questions and I believe her thought process was both sound and helpful as I begin organizing my own OPLN.
