Participating in a PLN might provide me with a much broader range of ideas for interacting with students, which might in turn improve instruction and learning.
I do not currently use an online PLN, but of the three presented here maybe Diigo would be the best. I think it would provide the best options for peer-reviewed or professional sources of information. Twitter seems too personal and Facebook too split between personal and professional interests.
The biggest hurdle for me, and I don't remember this being addressed in the videos, is the time factor. It's tough to keep up with email, grading and course prep, and to add another layer (60+ Twitter posts?) seems like too much.
