    This article gives 5 tips for creating a PLN online. It mentions other websites other than twitter, such as pinterest, scoopit and feedly. Twitter is well known, but this article is great for the beginner who can explore other resources.

    Great tips. It does take some significant time to get it all set up but I'm finding that the organization is paying off because when my son ends up napping longer than expected, I can open up Feedly and have lots of cool articles in the line-up to read without searching. Now I'm adding Twitter to the mix. People constantly ask how I have time to go to school and I think it boils down to tactics like this that allow you to capitalize on those unexpected breaks.

    Most of the articles I've found about PLNs all have only a few steps that aren't explained very well. This article has just enough tips and information for someone who isn't that tech savvy to be able to create a PLN. I also like how they include the links to the different websites so people can go step by step in creating their network, then refer back to the article for the next step.

    I found this valuable for those of us who are trying to implement their own PLNs from the ground up. They have compiled a Google Doc with all of the Twitter chats and hashtags to use to be involved in the conversations of like-minded educators. You can join the conversation now by checking out this document and using the appropriate hashtags http://tinyurl.com/29cn2uc You can also Tweet right now to #Itnchat each Thursday to advice on how to use Twitter as your own personal PLN starting point.

  • Ben Moore on 10 Sep 12
     
    Nate, excellent find! That really was a great video, thank you for sharing that. One thing that struck me from the video was the realization that the coffee houses and salons of the past provided an opportunity for people with various "hunches" (per the video) to meet and mingle exchanging ideas. Perhaps the salon of the 21st century is the greater web communities (web forums, facebook, twitter etc).
  • Jon Freer on 10 Sep 12
     
    I Loved This! No doubt it gives a terrific explanation of the importance of a connected learning environment. For me it also gives that sense of worth for the ideas that are incubating within and just waiting for the serendipitous moment when they come together with their other piece(s). Imagine how empowering that is for a student who suddenly feels such potential. Nice one.
  • James Russell on 11 Sep 12
     
    I really liked this video. I never would have thought to search You Tube for this kind of resources. This video really does describe and make important the ideas involved in connectivism. I am interested in seeing what other great videos on this topic are on You Tube.
  • Jaime Bennett on 11 Sep 12
     
    The way Johnson describes how ideas (or "hunches," as he calls them) often need a great deal of time to develop is definitely interesting, but I think that part of it is somewhat expected or already understood. The part I found really fascinating with the focus on the connectivism notions that the hunch one person has may very well need to collide with another person's hunch before it can truly form into something useful. The end of the video provided a very profound thought to consider: "Chance favors the connected mind."
  • Rhonda Lowderback on 11 Sep 12
     
    I have seen this before and am still moved by it. I always discount the use of videos and I enjoy them so much I am not so sure why I never think to look there. I also like his idea that good ideas are born from smaller ideas.
  • Fabio Cominotti on 11 Sep 12
     
    This is great. I really like the video format and how Johnson brought all of his ideas together and is really talking about connectivism. He never said the word, but he's talking about connectivity and innovation. He's talking about PLNs and CoPs. The video was very helpful

    This is a really great resource for those wanting to have an established PLN at their fingertips. It does lack some of the individuality of a true PLN (or so it seems), but certainly worth having in the toolbox. Nice one.
  • James Russell on 11 Sep 12
     
    This is a great resource when creating your on PLN. I agree with Jon in that it seems bigger than a true PLN, but what a network they have built here.

    This Q&A style article outlines the importance of building a PLN. The source is from a post-secondary outlet but the discussion can be beneficial for educators at any level. I particularly like the focus on using social media to help foster a productive PLN environment; it relates well to the content of 543.

    I also liked the style, you could scroll down the page reading the relevant questions and answers without having to wade through the info you weren't looking for at this time. It allowed for a more connectivistic (if that's a thing) learning approach.

    Thanks for sharing this. It really connected with me especially when it used a map to describe a PLN. It makes complete since to look at it that way. I also liked the way it emphasized creating a PLN online and described ways to create one.

    Allison, what a great video to explain PLNs. He does a great job of explaining his three aspects of what he believes to comprise a PLN; people, spaces, and tools. He seems to be a very strong advocate of Twitter!

    Vicki Davis equates the student PLN to a virtual locker. The content in the virtual locker changes as students shift from one project to another. Whether it is an RSS feed or Twitter following, the students are developing networks to acquire the information. PLN allow student learning to become more self-directed. The article addresses the challenges for educators face as PLNs become more prevalent in the classroom.

    Truthfully, you had me at the title with this one. Aside from the fact that I study good titles to make my articles more engaging, the metaphor was really powerful. I also liked the one student's comment about how iGoogle keeps her stuff organized. I'm going to look into that. I'd love a dashboard of sorts. I already have one with HootSuite, but it'd be nice to know what else is out there. Cheers! Buffy

    Coming from a higher ed perspective I found this really interesting. I used an RSS feed for a 200 level undergrad blended format class and received terrible reviews on the use of the tool. I found this interesting and am still trying to understand what went wrong. I am moving toward the use of Twitter now but found loved this visual image of the locker!

    I really like annotated bibliographies because they provide so much information on a topic in a fairly simple analytical summary, and they allow the reader to delve further by providing the source. The author, Kristi Newgarden, has two fields of interest: educational technology and teaching English as a Second Language. Overall, the focus of the bibliography is on Communities of Practice and Lave and Wenger's concepts of Legitimate Peripheral Participation.

    I agree with you about annotated bibliographies being a great resource. Not only did this great link provide further scholarly readings but gave a glimpse into what we could expect from them as well. I really enjoyed the list and found it great that some of them were brand new from the research I've already done at the beginning of this module. Great find!
  • scottcastro on 13 Jun 16
     
    Though not an academic study, this annotated bibliography from Electronic Journal for English as a Second Language, gives the reader summaries of over 40 sources related to Twitter, Social Networking, and CoPs. This bibliography is similar to one required in EdTech 501 at BSU. The resources provided come from a wide-range of academic disciplines and publications providing the reader with a diverse bibliography to look over.
  • J Matibag on 13 Jun 16
     
    Scott, it's great that you found this annotated bibliography. What caught my attention initially was that it was posted on a TESL website, but after reading further the author mentioned that the resources mentioned could benefit any teacher in any subject area. This is a nice way to find resources on a topic without having to type in a search engine or review resources at the end of a research study. Even better when there is a summary provided so you don't have to figure out if that is a beneficial resource or not.
  • scottcastro on 13 Jun 16
     
    J Matibag - One thing I didn't touch upon, but didn't, is the benefit summaries provided in an annotated bibliography like this one. Thanks for putting that into your post. Having these description certainly gives the reader a chance to discover more sources in less time. Most studies I've read tend to be 10-25 pages, so this circumvents sifting through studies that may not be what one is looking for.
