I like to think I've got a pretty good personal learning network (through SLA and other associations as well as conferences and 23 Things). I was impressed by this thinking stick blog entry.

Stages of Personal Learning Networks Adoption by Jeff Utecht

"Stage 1 Immersion: Immerse yourself into networks. Create any and all networks you can find where there are people and ideas to connect to. Collaboration and connections take off.

第一階段-沉浸：讓自己沉浸網(wǎng)絡(luò),，在可以找到人和思想能建立聯(lián)系的地方,，都創(chuàng)建網(wǎng)絡(luò),。開始合作和聯(lián)系,。

Stage 2 Evaluation: Evaluate your networks and start to focus in on which networks you really want to focus your time on. You begin feeling a sense of urgency and try to figure out a way to “Know it all.”

第二階段-評(píng)價(jià)：評(píng)價(jià)你的網(wǎng)絡(luò),，并開始聚焦在你確實(shí)需要花時(shí)間關(guān)注的網(wǎng)絡(luò),，你開始有種緊迫感和想要知道“了解一切”的途徑,。

Stage 3 Know it all: Find that you are spending many hours trying to learn everything you can. Realize there is much you do not know and feel like you can’t disconnect. This usually comes with spending every waking minutes trying to be connected to the point that you give up sleep and contact with others around you to be connected to your networks of knowledge.

第三階段-了解一切：你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己花了太多時(shí)間去試圖了解一切你能夠了解的東西,，認(rèn)識(shí)到有太多東西你不知道,，而且你感到不能斷開連接。這一階段你會(huì)經(jīng)常不睡覺,，用你醒著的每一分鐘去加入他人網(wǎng)絡(luò),，并會(huì)去網(wǎng)絡(luò)你周圍的其他人加入你的知識(shí)網(wǎng)絡(luò)。

Stage 4 Perspective: Start to put your life into perspective. Usually comes when you are forced to leave the network for awhile and spend time with family and friends who are not connected (a vacation to a hotel that does not offer a wireless connection, or visiting friends or family who do not have an Internet connection).

第四階段-全盤考量：開始全面衡量自己的生活,。通常,，你會(huì)強(qiáng)迫自己離開網(wǎng)絡(luò)一會(huì)兒，花些時(shí)間與家人和朋友在一起,，他們不是你網(wǎng)絡(luò)組的成員（到不提供無線連接的賓館度假,，或者去拜訪沒有互聯(lián)網(wǎng)連接的朋友或家庭）。

Stage 5 Balance: Try and find that balance between learning and living. Understanding that you can not know it all, and begin to understand that you can rely on your network to learn and store knowledge for you. A sense of calm begins as you understand that you can learn when you need to learn and you do not need to know it all right now."

第五階段-達(dá)到平衡：試圖找到學(xué)習(xí)和生活的平衡點(diǎn),。該階段,，你理解自己不可能了解一切，并開始理解你能夠依靠你的網(wǎng)絡(luò)來學(xué)習(xí)和收藏知識(shí),。當(dāng)你明白自己需要學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)候就可以去學(xué)習(xí),，而不必現(xiàn)在立即就知道時(shí)，一種平靜感就此誕生了,。
