aPLaNet will target the majority of language educators who fail using the wealth of ICT resources and Internet social networks that are aimed specifically at language educators. The project will help them join and use Internet Personal Learning Network (PLN) on social networks (SNs).A PLN is a virtual staff room: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_Learning_Networks. Today PLNs are helping 1,000 educators in their teaching practice. By showing to language educators how to use a PLN, this project aims at bringing about a sea-change in the way language educators use ICT. The project aims at answering 3 questions that language educators will ask:1. What is a PLN?2. What is the added value and meaning of a PLN?2. How to introduce a new teacher to a PLN and become a full autonomous member?These questions will be answered by showing to language educators:1. How to use identified SNs (technical & teacher guides, videos)2. What resources and supports are available within a PLN (resource templates, workshops, guides, diaries)3. How can language educators make their own PLN through a mentoring system, provided by existing expert users who are language educators just like themselves (Websites, mentoring system, workshops, guides)The system will be extensively piloted through the Associate partners, 140 institutions from 33 countries that have expressed their belief in the project including the ECML (Graz), Dept of Education Navarre Spain, Universities, schools at every level of education and NGOs.In addition the project will add to the resources produced:- A systematic review of the use of SNs in education- A methodology- Case studies- An ICT resource filtering application to build an ever growing repository of resourcesResources will be available in BG CZ EL ES EN RO TK DE FR IT.Through the dedicated work packages for dissemination and sustainability, the project has a very large potential to enable hundreds of language educators joining the project.
