    Thanks Dana. I always like reading David Warlick. He has a way of getting to the heart of the matter. The "Many PLN Paths" diagram in this article is particularly useful. I like the way he constructs the relationship between the technology tools as "aggregators" and the learner who maintains the connections.

    I found the diagram useful as well. I found the comparison of PLNs to ecosystem most interesting piece in this article. It provided with a valuable visual. #EdTechSN

    The analogy to the gardener's ecosystem was very useful to help understand the concept.

This article has a great list of new trends in the culture of learning. The trend that I found most surprising and relevant to PLN's is the formal education is no longer the majority of our learnin...

That is a very good point. For this project, I agree that Wikipedia was appropriate but unfortunately in other situations it may not be as acceptable. I suppose it depends on the circumstance the...

    Here is the book that fully explores how children learn in social, informal settings. It is the result of a three year study and is available as a free download here. (see my earlier bookmarked interview with Mimi Ito.) It explores many examples of informal personal learning networks in which children participate.

Communities of practice a brief introduction - 0 views

  •  
    This article is a good definition of what a community of practice (CoP) is and how they are used. It is not specific to online/social networks but offers good background on how communities are formed and what they are used for. With this general knowledge can be applied to many specific domains such as a personal learning network, a google circle or an anime club.

    This is a blog of an expert in Personal Learning Networks. He talks about how his own PLN has developed and changed over his professional career due to the availabilty to make connections with others in far more ways than were possible 20 years ago. He briefly describes many of the connection possibilities on the internet such as social networks, blogs, wikis, etc.

    I like the discussion in this article about critical behaviors. I have found that it is challenging at first to follow through on those behaviors. Assignments in our edtech courses help us engage in such behaviors, but the question for me is whether or not I'll keep those habits intact after the courses end. Thanks for the link.

    This is a very visual comparison between a PLN of a Traditional Networked Teacher and a PLN of Web 2.0 Connected Teacher. It is very dynamic. The author also provides links to website that will help you starting and maintaining a PLN.

Personal Learning Networks and Your Personal Expertise - 0 views

    I was reminded that Google tries to rank sites for me based upon what it thinks I want. David Loertscher addressed siloing, which means your information group is too small and possibly too like-minded. Loertscher advocates that one should open your net just a bit. He suggests seeking diverse experts to follow on the Internet and identifies some of his favorites to gain a variety of voices.

Communities of Practice: A Brief Introduction - 1 views

  •  
    This article explained what actually is done in a CoP and it helped me to connect it to PLNs and Connectivism. In a CoP, communities of people that have common goals and interests are sharing, collaborating and discussing ideas, solutions, and problems that have to do with their particular interest/goals. Through these interactions, new knowledge is formed and they are able to continue to gain more insight and advance in their endeavors. A CoP is a PLN and uses Connectivist theory to enhance the learning and networking.
  •  
    Communities develop through a variety of ways. A table is provided with many examples that help to clarify these ways. Some include problem solving, requests for information, seeking experience, reusing assets, and discussing developments. It is very easy to apply these examples to a variety of personal and professional CoPs.

How 2(.0): Personal Learning Networks, 1/4 - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    This video provides an overview of what PLNs are and how they relate to education. The fact that this video relates to education, specifically, is helpful in considering why PLNs are beneficial for teachers. However, the video says it is the first of four in a series, but the other videos cannot be found, which is disappointing if one wants to hear more on the topic.

aPLaNet What is a Personal Learning Network (PLN) - 2 views

  •  
    This video funded by the EU explains why it is important for educators to look outside of their local community for their PLN. The video highlights three main reasons that a vast and diverse PLN is important: Availability, knowledge, willingness to share. The video focuses on the PLM for foreign language. The ability to connect with speakers globally has revolutionized how, when, and where we can learn from.
