•Annotated list of five people or groups in which you might find people to add to your Personal Learning Network (through their Twitter feed, blog, or LinkedIn page, etc.)
◦For each person or group, give a brief (1–2 paragraphs) rationale for why you would include the person or group in your Personal Learning Network .
◦Then, give a 1- to 2-paragraph description of the process by which you found the person or group you added to your Personal Learning Network.
