Without having specific assignments related to our PLN due each week, this article gives great ideas to keep up with your PLN so that we can use it to our advantage when we really need it. It is most important to interact with other people, and to do so often. Without this, your PLN does not exist. Get involved!! The more involved you are, the more involved the people on the other end of your PLN will want to be. It is a give and take process, and it only works if both ends take the time to help the other grow. Use Twitter, blog often, and keep organized!
Remember that people are busy. It may not take 5 minutes for someone to answer your question or comment. If possible, ask multiple people so that you are able to get an answer quickly. However, be patient! Nobody likes a nagging person, and it is almost impossible to communicate with someone who does not have patience with you. Be real with your PLN. Putting on a face will only throw people off when they realize who you truly are. Take the time to get to know the people in your PLN. This will only bring advantages to your life.
Bottom line: PARTICIPATE!
