Thought provoking blog post by #ETL523 student https://twitter.com/hbailie How we approach the use of mobile and wireless learning in schools is a digital/global citizen piece.

One of the DML Research Hib videos. Mimi Ito discusses the move to connected learning in the digital age. A must watch for ETL523 students.

Explore the concept and practice of digital citizenship, from social, economic, political, ethical and technological perspectives, and consider how a knowledge of new media strategies and activities coupled with information policies in schools can develop the capacity of students and teachers as digital citizens.

For ETL523.....Module 1 We were asked to find more up to date information on creating a Professional Learning Network and I located this on edublogs. 7 step course, can be completed in any order, to help build an online PLN.

"We've all endured "death by PowerPoint." It's a painful experience for the audience and probably not all that fun for the presenter either. To help my students deliver effective presentations-free of those deadly bullet points-I have my go-to applications."

"We will dive into the Twitterverse and ultimately the use and social implications of the Twitter phenomenon, the hashtag, represented by the "#" sign which is used in Twitter to classify messages, propagate ideas and also to promote specific topics and people. Although the initial intention of this artifact is still intact, the ongoing reception and consumption of the hashtag by Twitter consumers differs from the original intention of its creator, Chris Messina, making it a forever evolving artifact. "

The 7 rules for creating effective slides include 1) slides are not documents; 2) picture superiority effect; 3) slides should be simple; 4) slides must have unity; 5) display data clearly; 6) use multimedia wisely; 7) don't forget your audience.

Good discussion points raised in this article.

"The evolution of education, particularly as filtered through the prism of emerging technology and new media, is something we're keenly interested in and something of increasing importance to society at large. Now, from authors Douglas Thomas and John Seely Brown comes a powerful and refreshing effort to approach the subject with equal parts insight, imagination and optimism, rather than the techno-dystopian views today's cultural pundits tend to throw our way." A really useful post that introduces the book New culture of Learning, and includes two good videos and links to the book website.

"Full on transformation can only be fueled by a deep understanding of how significantly out of step the school experience has become with the real world. If we're honest, we know we've always been lacking in that regard. But there's little question that the gap between school learning and life learning has become wider and more acute as the Web and mobile technologies continue to evolve as learning opportunities."

An interesting 'role play' putting teachers in the mode of solving a digital citizenship problem.

This post describes how educators can develop a personal learning network that supports meaningful and relevant learning. The MOOC, Education Technology & Media, etmooc, is used here as a working example of how to develop a PLN.
