Ning
I searches Ning and found a site called Know ELL's that I explored. I found this site quite interesting. The posts were varied: from personal reflections to links to useful sites to research exploring current issues for ELLs such as ELLs and technology. I plan to read many of the articles on this site.

One of the sections (posts) that I found interesting is Enhancing the writing development of English language learners: teacher perceptions of common technology in project-based learning. Topics such as this are current and apply directly to what I do with students.

A problem that I can see with a PLN is TIME. Just like with district tweets (which are interesting, but offer endless links), I could waste a lot of time here. I could forsee that if I was with a school group of teachers here, it could be a problem if one is required to read and process all of the ideas and articles.
