About DigiLittle Acorns
What is a PLN?
A Personal Learning Network has been described as: "a group of people who can guide your learning, point you to learning opportunities, answer your questions, and give you the benefit of their own knowledge and experience." (Tobin, D.R.)
A Professional Learning Network has been described as: "a vibrant, ever-changing group of connections to which teachers go to both share and learn. These groups reflect our values, passions, and areas of expertise." (Crowley, B.)
What is the DigiLittle Acorns PLN?
This PLN was originally designed to support the the DigiLit Leicester project and focused on the support of school based activities in English Martyrs' Catholic School Science Department. This was based upon the DigiLit Leicester school-level or city-wide survey findings. The project now fosters the development of a professional network; bringing staff at English Martyrs' Catholic School and Leicester City together to share best practice over a range of Action Research areas, with the overarching theme of "Raising Aspirations".
