One of the PLN's I would use as a teacher would be "The Educator's PLN" which can be found by clicking here. This is a great resource to use because it is made up of teachers who all post their own information to the website. I like this site because one of the first things that popped up on the right-hand side had to do with world language learners. Because I want to be a French teacher, the information that could be found on this site posted by my colleagues would be really useful. It gives examples of different activities teachers posted about world languages. For example, there is one activity a teacher posted that he did in his classroom, which are podcasts that the students can listen to, and send their information back to him through e-mail.
Another Personal Learning Network that I found that could be useful is called Powerful Learning Practice. To get to this site, click on this link. When I typed "world languages" into the search engine, it brought up a bunch of different articles from teachers about making the classroom more culturally accepting, and there was even an article about having a "Multicultural Day" at school. I think this particular PLN would be helpful because having a classroom that is open to learning a new culture is extremely important when teaching a foreign language to students. This is because, along with the new language they are learning, they are also being introduced to a brand new culture alone with it.
