As we introduce how to develop an online PLN to our educators, we’ve been compiling resources for them (thanks to my PLN). Since sometimes the lists of links and resources can get to be very overwhelming I have tried to fine tune them so that we can be more focused.
Here is a tutorial that goes through what we went over in our first session: Developing a PLN: Stage 1 Twitter

Brilliant to see you focusing on PLN … personally I feel these are a necessary survival tool (strategy) that all teachers will need as they get sucked into the online experience.
I locked myself away for a day in Dec 2008 (long time ago) to quantify and visualise my own PLN … and the results can be seen at

This is a dynamic/organic document which has actually kept me sane and helped considerably address the “overload” cry.
I hope the page can save you some time.
Have fun
