In chapter 6 it is all about personal learning networks and designing your own web community. This chapter really opened my mind I had no idea a note taking software even existed (evernote). I was very confused about how to set up a PLN let alone what it even was. Chapter 6 cleared up questions ranging from who to follow, how to follow networks to create design your own community, even how you should go about finding well-respected followers. Four main roles for building a community are linking, lurking,learning, and leading according to David Lee. A PLN is the "outboard brain" (page 107) in the results of the connections in that specific network.

In the article "Utilizing Twitter List," a statement from Bill Ferriter was used by the author. The statement was about how even though following 200 followers and being bombarded with information it can be hectic but still beneficial. The author separated who she followed by placing them into groups. Also if you wanted to follow only people in a certain group you could just subscribe to them. Basically you are creating you own PLNs within Twitter. http://principalj.blogspot.com/2012/07/utilizing-twitter-lists.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A%20ReflectionsFromAnElementarySchoolPrincipal%20%28Reflections%20from%20an%20Elementary%20School%20Principal%29
