| 9:07 pm | bcnpaul1: | RT @ShellTerrell: Is the PLN concept age specific for students? #ELTChat > i think young learners are more able & willing |

| 9:08 pm | Shaunwilden: | @tarabenwell Thanks for the link that was really helpful #eltchat |
| 9:08 pm | theteacherjames: | @rliberni #eltchat I guess an offline, classroom based support group can often form, and be seen as a PLN? |
| 9:08 pm | fionamau: | @bcnpaul1 #eltchat Thank you, sir |
| 9:08 pm | DinaDobrou: | RT @EclipsingX: #eltchat how about blogging EDUBLOG has a student challenge to help students form links> And KIDBLOG for YLs! |
| 9:08 pm | tarabenwell: | In my model I included colleagues, moderators, bloggers (some unrelated to ELT) #ELTChat |

| 9:09 pm | rliberni: | @Shaunwilden personally I think a PLN is a group of learners who come together ‘naturally’ to learn so cld be within a class #eltchat |
| 9:09 pm | Marisa_C: | RT @tarabenwell: In my model I included colleagues, moderators, bloggers (some unrelated to ELT) #ELTChat |

| 9:10 pm | tarabenwell: | Here is a student example: http://my.englishclub.com/profiles/blogs/my-pln #ELTChat |
| 9:10 pm | EclipsingX: | @ShellTerrell I agree with you about student perspective. It would be good.) #ELTCHAT |
| 9:10 pm | Marisa_C: | RT @katekidney: When I created a Facebook group for my students to join in, may it be a case of PLN?#ELTChat> yes |
| 9:10 pm | harrisonmike: | @annapires But, remember, you can take the horse to water… PLN-forming not for everybody? Nor should it be, really #eltchat |

| 9:10 pm | Marisa_C: | RT @tarabenwell: Here is a student example: #ELTChat |
| 9:10 pm | bcnpaul1: | getting students to blog and then build relationships with other students who comment #eltchat |
| 9:10 pm | theteacherjames: | RT @ShellTerrell: I can’t help but think it would be great to have a student perspective here #ELTChat – I think that about a lot of things! |
| 9:10 pm | annabooklover: | Hello #eltchat friends! I think sts form their PLNs in conventional classrooms too! |
| 9:10 pm | rliberni: | @DinaDobrou I think they are all forms of PLN #eltchat |
| 9:10 pm | cerirhiannon: | RT @harrisonmike: @annapires But, remember, you can take the horse to water… PLN-forming not for everybody? Nor should it be, really #eltchat |
| 9:10 pm | Marisa_C: | RT @annabooklover: Hello #eltchat friends! I think sts form their PLNs in conventional classrooms too! > true |
| 9:10 pm | ShellTerrell: | @Shaunwilden @rliberni I don’t necessarily agree with naturally because it requires some maintenance & participation for it to work #ELTChat |
| 9:11 pm | cerirhiannon: | RT @Marisa_C: RT @annabooklover: Hello #eltchat friends! I think sts form their PLNs in conventional classrooms too! > true |
| 9:11 pm | bcnpaul1: | RT @ShellTerrell: I can’t help but think it would be great to have a student perspective here #ELTChat – I think that about a lot of things! |
| 9:11 pm | harrisonmike: | I try to disseminate events I’m at (BC, ELT days, conferences) for staff at my college thru a blog. Not sure how many read tho #eltchat |
| 9:11 pm | Shaunwilden: | @rliberni Thanks and I guess like us they can be connected internationally as well #ELTChat |
| 9:11 pm | fionamau: | RT @ShellTerrell: I can’t help but think it would be great to have a student perspective here #ELTChat |
| 9:11 pm | europeaantje: | I´ve never used the term PLN with my sts but I foster group cohesion,reflection on learning and they/we got the bar after class 🙂 #eltchat |
| 9:11 pm | annabooklover: | A PLN may be the friends you call with a question late in the evening, or the parent you ask for help #eltchat |
| 9:11 pm | merylvdm: | My own teens connect through online forums and Facebook – they share essays written for school, new technologies, educational sites #eltchat |
| 9:11 pm | Shaunwilden: | @ShellTerrell So it requires the teacher to take part? #ELTChat |
| 9:11 pm | cerirhiannon: | RT @europeaantje: I´ve never used the term PLN with my sts but I foster group cohesion,reflection on learning and they/we got the bar after class 🙂 #eltchat |
| 9:11 pm | harrisonmike: | RT @annabooklover: A PLN may be the friends you call with a question late in the evening, or the parent you ask for help #eltchat |
| 9:11 pm | Lemness: | Can i ask – what does #eltchat mean? |
| 9:11 pm | tarabenwell: | @katekidney Totally! EnglishClub has a Facebook page with thousands of learners worldwide. Many now practice English together.#ELTChat |
| 9:12 pm | DinaDobrou: | @ShellTerrell @Shaunwilden @rliberni Especially if ur introducing them to the online idea of PLNs. It takes preparation on T’s part #ELTchat |
| 9:12 pm | rliberni: | @ShellTerrell I have to say to get my Gapfillers folk to do this takes a lot of ‘pushing’ but physically it may be easier #eltchat |
| 9:12 pm | ShellTerrell: | @Shaunwilden Not necessarily but I think it’s good if the student includes their teacher & wants to in their PLN #ELTchat |
| 9:12 pm | bcnpaul1: | A lot of our students study for only 3 hrs a week & I wonder how motivated they are outside of those 3 hrs to form a PLN #eltchat |
| 9:12 pm | rliberni: | @Lemness English language teachers chat #eltchat |
| 9:12 pm | NewsNeus: | RT @ShellTerrell: Great idea! RT @annapires: How about a school Facebook page? That’s what I do to share useful links & info with sts. #ELTchat |
| 9:12 pm | europeaantje: | RT @annabooklover: A PLN may be the friends you call with a question late in the evening, or the parent you ask for help #eltchat | yes! |
| 9:12 pm | ShellTerrell: | @Shaunwilden @rliberni Perhaps with some communities it takes a moderator or a few leaders to guide others? #ELTChat |
| 9:12 pm | tarabenwell: | @europeaantje I hadn’t either, but then I thought PLN actually has a nice ring to it. They might like it! #ELTChat |
| 9:12 pm | rliberni: | RT @tarabenwell: @europeaantje I hadn’t either, but then I thought PLN actually has a nice ring to it. They might like it! #ELTChat |
| 9:13 pm | cerirhiannon: | RT @bcnpaul1: A lot of students study for only 3 hrs a wk – how motivated they are outside of those 3 hrs to form PLN #eltchat>blogs help |
| 9:13 pm | ShellTerrell: | RT @DinaDobrou: Especially if ur introducing them to the online idea of PLNs. It takes preparation on T’s part #ELTchat |
| 9:13 pm | ShellTerrell: | RT @europeaantje: RT @annabooklover: A PLN may be the friends you call with a question late in the evening, or the parent you ask for help #eltchat | yes! |
| 9:13 pm | EclipsingX: | #ELTCHAT my learners were shocked at the thought of facebook for ed. One told me he had closed all SM accounts because he =dlstracted |
| 9:13 pm | Shaunwilden: | @towittertoo we use epals between classes in our school network which is international, does that count? #ELTChat |
| 9:13 pm | fionamau: | RT @rliberni: @Shaunwilden personally I think a PLN is a group of learners who come together ‘naturally’ to learn so cld be within a class #eltchat |
| 9:13 pm | harrisonmike: | @bcnpaul1 3hrs not enough to improve, IMO. Those sts HAVE TO do extra to succeed #eltchat But PLN or other info sources most useful?? |
| 9:13 pm | DinaDobrou: | @towittertoo @rliberni @Shaunwilden Hm, true. I was thinking of matching classes between the group of schools I work for. #ELTchat |
| 9:13 pm | europeaantje: | RT @Shaunwilden: @ShellTerrell So it requires the teacher to take part? #ELTChat | no. why? sts can support each other, too |
| 9:13 pm | cerirhiannon: | RT @ShellTerrell: RT @DinaDobrou: if ur introducing them to online idea of PLNs. It takes preparation on T’s part #ELTchat > and patience |
| 9:13 pm | Marisa_C: | @tarabenwell I think the term PLN kind of formalises sth and makes Ss more aware of the need to form it and maintain it #ELTChat |
| 9:13 pm | cerirhiannon: | RT @europeaantje: RT @Shaunwilden: @ShellTerrell So it requires the teacher to take part? #ELTChat | no. why? sts can support each other, too |
| 9:13 pm | tarabenwell: | @bcnpaul1 Maybe they need a group interest other than merely “learning English”. For example, learners who like music. #ELTChat |
| 9:13 pm | rliberni: | @ShellTerrell I think that is true a ot depends on the makeup of your group – mine are quite slow no real catalysts as yet #eltchat |
| 9:14 pm | bcnpaul1: | @cerirhiannon agree w/ the blogs comment. anything like that motivates them to direct their own learning is a great help #eltchat |
| 9:14 pm | Lemness: | @rliberni thank u so much. Im not an english teacher but its fascinating to watch the interaction. #eltchat |
| 9:14 pm | kmhmartin: | RT @europeaantje: RT @annabooklover: A PLN may be the friends you call with a question late in the evening, or the parent you ask for help #eltchat | yes! |
| 9:14 pm | kmhmartin: | RT @ShellTerrell: RT @DinaDobrou: Especially if ur introducing them to the online idea of PLNs. It takes preparation on T’s part #ELTchat |
| 9:14 pm | rliberni: | @annapires I would think it might be a few members of a class – the class is a bit artificial #eltchat |
| 9:14 pm | ShellTerrell: | @cerirhiannon @bcnpaul1 But isn’t the PLN participation part of studying? Maybe more meaningful than HMWK give by instructor? #ELTChat |
| 9:14 pm | oflazmerve: | RT @EclipsingX: less than 24 hours until the BC ELT bloggers reveal their intense 28 day experiences. Very excited! RU? #ECLPSCHAT #ELTCHAT #EDCHAT #ELT |
| 9:14 pm | tarabenwell: | @harrisonmike @bcnpaul1 Please invite them to MyEC. It’s free and fun and growing quickly! There’s something for everyone. #ELTChat |
| 9:14 pm | DinaDobrou: | Etwinning…a community for schools in Europe. #ELTchat |
| 9:14 pm | theteacherjames: | @Shaunwilden @shellterrell #eltchat …or need a teacher to get the ball rolling? |
| 9:14 pm | cerirhiannon: | RT @ShellTerrell: @cerirhiannon @bcnpaul1 But isn’t the PLN participation part of studying? Maybe more meaningful than HMWK give by instructor? #ELTChat |
| 9:14 pm | rliberni: | @Lemness no problem yes it must be from your perspective #eltchat |
| 9:14 pm | annabooklover: | But let us not forget that there are kids who have neither parents who can help, nor internet, nor friends nearby. #eltchat |
| 9:15 pm | europeaantje: | @bcnpaul1 sts are motivated to create “PLN” out of own interest: what do you do? how did you do this? what was the homework? #eltchat |
| 9:15 pm | ShellTerrell: | RT @annabooklover: But let us not forget that there are kids who have neither parents who can help, nor internet, nor friends nearby. #eltchat |

| 9:15 pm | bcnpaul1: | @ShellTerrell @cerirhiannon true but sometimes hmwk is a start along the path to greater involvement in their own learning #eltchat |
| 9:15 pm | katekidney: | http://www.helpforenglish.cz/ this is a kind of PLN for Czech and even other students, thanks to Marek Vít and his coworkers!#ELTChat |
| 9:15 pm | fionamau: | RT @annapires: Students need to be motivated to form their PLN. Not all teachers are motivated to form their own. #ELTchat |
| 9:15 pm | merylvdm: | I teach a Media class and this semester they are all required to blog – and I am encouraging them to comment on each other’s. #ELTchat |
| 9:15 pm | Lemness: | I will just lurk and listen. RT @Teacherhorizons: @Lemness @rliberni I completely agree #eltchat |
| 9:16 pm | ShellTerrell: | @bcnpaul1 @cerirhiannon Many teachers who aren’t using PLNs like us don’t give this kind of hmwk they give wkshts & drills #Eltchat |
| 9:16 pm | rliberni: | @DinaDobrou good idea & there will probably be some who gravitate towards a subgrp and want to meet online? #eltchat |
| 9:16 pm | bcnpaul1: | @tarabenwell thanks Tara. I’ll have a look after this #eltchat |
| 9:16 pm | cerirhiannon: | RT @bcnpaul1: @ShellTerrell @cerirhiannon sometimes hmwk is a start along the path to greater involvement #eltchat> shared hwk tasks helps |
| 9:16 pm | ShellTerrell: | RT @rliberni: @DinaDobrou good idea & there will probably be some who gravitate towards a subgrp and want to meet online? #eltchat |
| 9:16 pm | tarabenwell: | @Marisa_C Agreed! When I challenged them to identify their PLN, some worried about leaving people out. I learned. 🙂 #ELTChat |
| 9:16 pm | fionamau: | #eltchat my experience is that the groups that have a ‘social English’ element in a bar once a week r the ones that form a PLN. |
| 9:16 pm | ShellTerrell: | RT @merylvdm: I teach a Media class and this semester they are all required to blog – and I am encouraging them to comment on each other’s. #ELTchat |
| 9:16 pm | europeaantje: | RT @annapires: Can a class form a PLN? Or does it have to an individual thing? #ELTchat | ideally a class would be a PLN ??? |
| 9:16 pm | ShellTerrell: | RT @katekidney: http://www.helpforenglish.cz/ this is a kind of PLN for Czech and even other students, thanks to Marek Vít and his coworkers!#ELTChat |
| 9:16 pm | bcnpaul1: | @ShellTerrell true. And it’s a real shame #eltchat |
| 9:16 pm | treeves: | @fionamau so true #eltchat |
| 9:17 pm | ShellTerrell: | Gr8 point! RT @annapires: Students need to be motivated to form their PLN. Not all teachers are motivated to form their own. #ELTchat |
| 9:17 pm | cerirhiannon: | RT @fionamau: #eltchat … ‘social English’ element in a bar once a week r the ones that form a PLN. > social element can also be online |

| 9:17 pm | fionamau: | #eltchat for example summer intensive classes that have a coffee break ‘across the road’, or Friday drink after class |
