Citing examples of success, one is drawn and intrigued to look further at the project as we are now 2 years later.

    SUMMARY: Interplay between student and teacher in which each characterizes an LMS and PLE respectfully. In the end, the LMS can't stop himself from evolving into a PLE, similar to what we are starting to see in the "real world." This one really helped me see the distinction between the two systems.

    SUMMARY: This creative explanation of the Connectivist theory makes the changing role of the student and teacher so clear. A teacher evolves into "a learning architect, modeler, learning concierge, connected learning incubator, network sherpa, synthesizer, and change agent." Wow!

  • HTML is all you need to create a web page
  • HTML is the pivotal piece of the puzzle.
  • the web is written in plain text.
  • writing code is more like using WriteRoom or IA Writer; all you get is plain old letters and symbols
  • “mark up” your document and insert extra indicators of how you want the text to be formatted.
  • With HTML, this markup is accomplished through tags.
  • bold tag
  • “<b>”
  • “</b>

  • The typical web developer workflow might be to insert all the various pure content first into an HTML document, then jump over to CSS and begin crafting that content to appear in a more visually pleasing and usable way
  • JavaScript jumps into this game by taking a more active role in how the page behaves.
  • HTML5 developers have some new tags to work with that make the basic structure of a web page more logical.

  • True knowledge -- understanding -- develops through exploration, rumination, interpretation, judgment, and the application of information. Thoughtful work on projects and problems requires roaming through complex resources, seeking inspiration, messing around, making missteps and mistakes, and experiencing serendipitous discoveries.
