Personal Learning Networks in Economics Teaching

A re-posting for this presentation on personalised learning networks - especially as a new school / college year dawns. There is growing interest within the teaching community in how personal learning networks (PLNs) can be nurtured as part of continuing professional development (CPD). Whilst most schools and colleges have commitment to CPD and a sizeable budget to go with it, the best CPD does not carry a heavy financial cost. Indeed, many of the best resources and events are free! This is a link to an updated and extended short paper on some of the components of my personal learning network as an economics teacher.
