I need to introduce someone to the world of UK education soon so I was trying to think of all the relevant education organisations she will need to investigate to get a good idea of the ‘domain’.

This, I found, is not an easy task. There are many important bodies both within and beyond the government sphere. I was sure to miss lots out. So I turned to my personal learning network.

PERSONAL LEARNING NETWORK

For me, this consists of my colleagues at work and my Twitter buddy list. A quick request for a link on Twitter resulted in a great link to a page on the DCSF site from @ChrisPadden which was a great start.

I then thought how I could get more of my PLN involved and decided to use the lovely http://www.wallwisher.com to set up a wall for suggestions. Tweeting and messages to my work colleagues have so far generated 25 suggestions on the wall which can be seen here:

Please feel free to add any more you can think of.

This fantastic response has further convinced me of the value of crowdsourcing via the PLN – and it’s also been a lot of fun seeing it develop!

When all the responses are in, I intend to transfer the links to a more useable format/system. If you have any ideas of what I could use, let me know!
