Education 3.0: Learning Anywhere, Anytime - 1 views

  •  
    This sources is a brief introduction to education 3.0. It outlines the meaning of education 3.0, compares it to 1.0 and 2.0, and gives additional resources for more information.
  •  
    Web 2.0 is when you interact with the internet, like I am doing right now. Diigo is an example of web 2.0 tools. Web 3.0 is when the internet interacts with you. For example, Google has all this data on you that when you search for something you get different search results than others who do the same search.

20 Tips for Creating a Professional Learning Network - 7 views

  •  
    This link provides 10 tips for using PLNs and 10 tips for establishing productive ones. Using Diigo is the first tip for establishing a productive PLN - I thought that was pretty cool.

    These tips are great! I really liked that a couple of the tips really focus on being an active participant in a PLN, not just collecting information. I think it would be a really easy thing to just not participate, but reap the benefits of everyone else's submissions, so it is great that they made that a point to emphasize!
  •  
    Here are more great tips and tools for creating a PLN.
  •  
    I love "how to" articles because they lay out a blueprint and take out the guess work needed. The tips for using and for beginning a PLN are really valuable. I just bookmarked that site; I really need to use my pocket account more!
  •  
    This is a great resource. I feel like I could follow these tips and create a PLN. I like how it's right to the point and easy to follow.
  •  
    "Sharing discoveries is more efficient and honorable than patenting them" - I love that! The steps outlined in this post definitely are based on this great principle. It's also great to know that that's exactly what we do at Edtech (unlike in so many other grad programs where so much of the student work never gets shared.) Great post!
  •  
    I like lists and how-tos. This article by Miriam Clifford provides a great introduction to the nuts and bolts of establishing a PLN.

    Trying to figure out this Diigo thing... This is a website by a guy named Dan Meyer who writes on math education. In particular, I'd recommend checking out his "Three Acts" posts.
  •  
    Dan is an amazing individual! I had the pleasure of meeting him last April. We had a good chat and he seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say.

Connectivism and Connective Knowledge - YouTube - 2 views

  •  
    This is a video discussion as part of a online course on connectivism.  Taken by itself, it is a little obscure, but taken in the context of EDTECH543 and in an attempt to understand connectivism, it was immensely helpful to me.  The video centers around the nine dots puzzle and the how the solution to it is a perfect example of connectivism.

    Fabio. Neat little video. Here is the part I find really interesting. In the comment area below the video, Alec Couros writes "Those that are connected...can pragmatically extend their neural networks beyond the confines of their own cognitive space." In essence they share brain-power with their network. It becomes so much more than "help me solve this" (which is how I use my small PLN). Taken in the context of this Stephen Johnson video shared here in Diigo as well ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NugRZGDbPFU ), it seems that the many pieces of a great unseen puzzle can come together through such connections. Would the PLN all be striving for the same end goal or simply working on similar goals and have the group epiphany? Funny how a short "cute" video and a comment from 4 years ago can get a guy thinking about such interesting, if not esoteric, ideas.
  •  
    This is a really cool video. Fabio, you are correct, watching this video helps make this topic much more clear. The comment shared here by Jon is quite profound. It make the saying that "two heads are better than one" seem very true, except now you can have thousands of heads working together. Very neat.
  •  
    Thanks for sharing this video. It made me understand that even if we think that at the beginning we are not going to need to get connected to a certain "point", you never know if in the future you are going to need information/knowledge from that source.
  •  
    I really like this 'outside the lines' way of looking at connectivism. There is so much information out there that we really might not need at a certain point in time but it is still there and can be accessed. It's interesting to think that we might be that point for others, we are still there but they don't need what we have right now.

Teacher 's Guide on Creating Personal Learning Networks ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning - 5 views

  •  
    Video offers great description of the importance of PLN's and although there is a lot of discussion on ways to create a PLN, the importance of communication is highlighted as the key to a successful PLN.
  • ...3 more comments...
  •  
    Guide that shows how other educators are using social media to grow their personal PLN's.
  •  
    Creating your PLN is easier than you might even thought. Most of you are already familiar with some social media platforms such as Twitter, Google+, Facebook, Diigo, LinkedIn, but do you really know how to use them to create a personal learning network ? EDTECH543 Personal Learning Network
  •  
    This is a great resource for educators that are looking into personal learning networks. There is a five minute video that goes over personal learning networks, numerous resources that go over all the information needed to know about PLNs, and different tools and resources that can be used for PLNs.
  •  
    This tutorial gives a step by step description of how to create your own PLN as a teacher. A 5 minute video provides the importance of creating a PLN and tools to use. There are various links on how to use social media to grow your PLN. Another list provides links to specific tools to use to help grow your PLN or join another PLN.
  •  
    This resource does have some excellent resources. I look forward to exploring more of the how-to aspect in future modules.

10 Resources Week 2 EDTECH543 - 6 views

  •  
    This is a list I created summarizing the articles I found for the week 2 module in Edtech 543.
  •  
    I especially liked the principal's reflection. There were sooo many examples of places to start. I think most people would be familiar with or able to set up at least a couple of these.

How Do I Get a PLN? | Edutopia - 1 views

  • Personalized Learning Network -- the shift in nuance maintains that participants are both personal and professional learners.
  • A PLN is a tool that uses social media and technology to collect, communicate, collaborate and create with connected colleagues anywhere at any time.
  • PLNs accept people for their ideas, not their titles.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • These PLN activities stimulate, for many, the need to express themselves further in blogging, speaking and writing books
  • The PLN is a mindset, not the outcome of a workshop or the PD offered annually by many school districts. It is not a one-shot fix.
  • Successful users of PLNs overwhelm the uninitiated with techno-babble.
  • t requires, at least at first, digital literacy beyond a Google search.
  • continuous building and active use of PLNs as a tool for learning benefit educators personally and professionally in ways never before possible.
  • PLNs Are Collaboration
  • technology is collaboration on steroids, supporting "connected educators"
  • Technology has fundamentally changed collaboration by removing barriers of time and space.
  •  
    A PLN or Professional/Personal Learning Network is a tool that uses digital information like social networks to collect, communicate, collaborate, and create with similarly minded people all over the world at any time. PLNs aren't being widely used because of the challenge to navigate the resources. PLN's do drive collaboration and technology is the tool that fuels it. They are a way to connect with people to share and discuss things the people share interest in. You can start a PLN by getting online and joining blogs, twitter, and message boards about what you are interest in.

    I like this article because it gives teachers a clear definition of what a PLN and how to connect to one. I am new to using social networking professionally so I am interested in learning ways to connect to PLN that would benefit my classroom.
  •  
    Thomas Whitby is an educator that I have followed on Twitter and consider a valuble member of my PLN. So it is fitting that I would include an article written by Mr. Whitby explaining the purpose of a PLN. Mr. Whitby explains that PLNs use social media and technology to collect, communicate, collaborate and create with like-minded individuals. Unlike traditional professional development sessions, PLNs can take place any time and anywhere through the use of the WWW. Each PLN is uniques and serves its own purpose and each member is a potential source of information. Mr. Whitby concludes his article with information on how to build a PLN and links to PLN resources.
  •  
    This article gives the definition of a PLN and answers the question of why they are important. It also talks about potential barriers, this is important! It also has links to other resources for PLNs.
  •  
    This blog post thoroughly defines PLNs, even addressing the debate over its acronym. Is it professional or personal learning networks? This post settles on a happy medium: personalized learning network. This entry goes beyond the definitions as it addresses both the barriers to PLNs and what can be gained from them. It also offers suggestions on how to build a PLN and helpful links.
  •  
    According to this sites definition of a Personal Learning Network, this Diigo group meets the definition ("a tool that uses social media and technology to collect, communicate, collaborate and create with connected colleagues anywhere at any time"). The article continues by stating that each member becomes "a source of information," which leads us back to connectivism, making connections, and learning.
  •  
    This website defines and discusses PLNs as used by educators specifically. This article talks about how to start or get involved in a PLN, barriers educators face in using PLNs, and benefits of using PLNs.

elearn Magazine: How important is Twitter in your Personal Learning Network? - 6 views

  •  
    Focusing on the use of Twitter in a PLN, a study was conducted involving seven educators. The results were encouraging as Twitter provided an excellent medium for personalizing their PLN and having immediate access. Although much of the article goes on to explain how Twitter works in a roundabout way, it does explain the merits of open and public forums for collaboration and discussion.

    This article discusses the growing interest in Personal Learning Networks (PLN) and Twitter among educators. This study interviews seven educators about their experiences using Twitter within a PLN to try to understand if Twitter played a unique and specific role in learning. Four distinct outcomes were: 1. Twitter allows participants to engage in instantaneous conversations with their PLN. 2. Twitter provides a way for participants to access the collective knowledge of their PLN. 3. Twitter helped grow the size of the PLN. 4. Twitter can be used as a motivator.
  •  
    This article includes information on a research study, about using Twitter within a PLN. Its result mentions specific advantages such as allowing participants to engage in instantaneous conversation and access collective knowledge.
  •  
    After reading the article and other comments, I think Ryan Olynyk's summary outlines the main ideas well.
  •  
    This article explains several ways in which Twitter can enhance your PLN. It can allow you to share resources, receive resources, and crowdsource ideas. Using hashtags, users can explore topics that interest them and meet potential new members of the PLN. Retweets are another effective way to meet potential PLN members.
  •  
    The article looks at the impact Twitter plays on PLNs. The research shows Twitter is a valuable tool to connect with people around the world and easily share ideas. The openness of Twitter can create large PLNs and impact more members.
  •  
    For me its very important. I use it and Diigo groups the most as online PLN tools.
  •  
    The article clearly shows the benefits of integrating twitter into your personal learning network. The article makes me reflect on my own social media presence where I need to transition from a lurker to an active member in order to build and sustain my PLN.
  •  
    This article must have been for me since this is my first time on twitter. The information in this article leads me to think that you don't have to have twitter to have an PLN but it is easier when you do. It allows for fast and concise communication with your PLN.
  •  
    This article covers a small scale research project done to see how important the use of Twitter was within a personal learning network. It was interesting to see how impactful Twitter could be within a PLN.
  •  
    I love how this article validates the effectiveness of Twitter in the building of one's PLN. I have engaged in numerous Twitter chats with like-minded educators and found great benefit in building my PLN. Thanks for linking a great article!

EDTECH at Boise State University - 2 views

  •  
    Upon doing my research for CoP I stumbled across this site that stresses the right way to effectively use technology for online communities of practice. It emphasizes that many CoP's can lose their purpose by metamorphosing into something entirely different than what was originally intended.
