    Better then Youtube for educational purposes. I will construct my own channal later this year for our school. This is just another example of Web 2.0 and dynamic content development

    This is YouTube for teachers. Much cleaner for a school environment -Jennifer Frisk

    Topics covered from very basic algebra all the way through algebra II. This is the best algebra playlist to start at if you've never seen algebra before. Once you get your feet wet, you may want to try some of the videos in the "Algebra I Worked Examples" playlist.

    The textbook company, Glencoe, did a great resource page that has several academic sites on using the internet into your classroom. They give examples and instructions for educators.

The Future of Thinking | The MIT Press - 0 views

  •  
    I love this book! It was written as an experiment in online participatory, collaborative scholarship. It looks at how learning institutions can become as flexible and collaborative as social networking sites. Personal learning networks are highlighted in several examples. The leads on the project are Cathy Davidson (see earlier bookmark) and David Theo Goldberg.

Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out | The MIT Press - 0 views

  •  
    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.

TEDxNYED - George Siemens - 03/06/10 - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    George Siemens gives a TED Talk on connections. Education is shutting down connections. "Connected learning is transparent learning." The video is about 20 minutes, but worth watching. He has some fascinating examples from his childhood to when he was exposed to more in the world.

Welcome | NAAE Communities of Practice - 1 views

    This is not a published article, but rather an example of an active Community of Practice. I like visuals, so this was helpful to see an operational COP and explore the different aspects available to its members.

George Siemens - Connectivism: Socializing Open Learning - YouTube - 2 views

  •  
    In this video, George Siemens lectures on connectivism and its importance in education. Current education structures do not provide meaningful learning. Connectivism is a way of learning that is interactive, participatory, and under an individual's control. The social learning is a method of "connectedness" that provides deeper connections with learning strengths.

    Great video from a very progressive thinker. He really set off the lightbulb in me about the way I learn.
  •  
    "The formal learning process is irrelevant." One example he gives of this is that we don't know our students well enough to personalize the process to them. He says we force content on them without taking them into consideration. I disagree. Students tell you what they want to learn by declaring a major or signing up for a class. I agree that the system could be better, but he goes a bit too far.
  •  
    What a great speaker! Siemens' speech is so thought provoking. It is important to know our children before we teach them.

UTAS Community of Practice Initiative - 0 views

  •  
    This document is a compilation of readings and resources for a community of practice. It includes infographics as well as summaries of information of theories of COP's.
  •  
    This article had mentioned a good point about communities of practice: not all communitites are communities of practice. They gave the example of a neighborhood, it is a community where people are living, but they are not necessarily practicing a common interest. However if you have a neighborhood watch group to watch and protect the surrounding homes, them that would be a community of practice because they have the same goal and are working together. It stated that learning can be the reason for the group to come together, or it can be an outcome of someone's actions.

Connectivism - YouTube - 3 views

  •  
    This is a short video that may help one grasp Connectivism and how it applies to students in the classroom.
  •  
    I like how this worked with a specific student and gave an example of how Connectivism helped that student. I also found it helpful to see Connectivism compared to Behaviorism, Cognitivism, and Constructionism.
  •  
    Explaining connectivisim, the simplified version. This video makes understanding connectivism very easy.

    This resource is an image that shows the comparison between professional development for teachers in the past and currently through the use of profession learning networks.

    I LOVE this resource. It combines my assistantship, which has to do with professional development, and my online 543 course. It is perfect and really fun. Thank you for posting!
  •  
    Very cool resource. Great image and different approach to PLN. Great resource and find.
  •  
    Great infographic! It really summarizes the shift PD could make if open to utilzing technology.I bookmarked the site and I will keep this in mind for the next time I do PD sessions.
  •  
    I love this as I am a very visual learner. A great graphic - focus on the support, learn, engage and measure, and as a teacher who works in an international school the concept of PD is truly global. Excellent. Thanks Alexis -PLN buddy.
  •  
    Solid graphic and one that actually focuses on teachers. A lot of the resources I found used businesses or government bodies as examples, but this is obviously more pertinent. Nice find.

    This article was found through Ebscohost in Albertson's library and requires you log into your MyBoiseState account to access. This article is a brief history of the rise of PLN's and talks about how they are created, why they have been successful and gives some examples of how schools are using them. it also discusses the benefits of PLN's. This article is an easy read and not particularly scholarly

The Educator's PLN - 3 views

  •  
    Personal Learning Network for educators in action. Interesting example of a living, breathing learning network in use today by teachers from the United States to Sri Lanka and Greece, 13,576 members strong.

    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    Another great PLN resource. Many great videos to share. A place to chat with other educators.
  •  
    A great collection of blogs, videos, resource (including an alphabetical list of Twitter Hashtags) for education.
  •  
    This is a great PLN for educators. I found videos and blog postings that were extremely interesting. What a cool resource!

(Fletcher #10) Is action research a contradiction in terms? Do communities of practice mean the end of educational research as we know it? Some remarks based on one recent example of religious education research - 2 views

  •  
    This article is written in-response-to-a-response of an earlier article by the author (titled Researching religious education pedagogy through an action research community of practice - I've posted it as my #6 article). It seems that the response to the original article was critical of the a few items, most notably questioning whether the unnatural makeup of the group (too homogeneous or heterogeneous compared to the "general public") makes the practice invalid. Also, the article brings into question the nature of practice and theory, and how both impact one another.

20 Fun Free Tools for Interactive Classroom Collaboration - 3 views

  •  
    I really like this article. Gives so many examples of free collaboration/sharing tools in the classroom. I appreciated the use of not only social media sites, but so many interactive sites that include collaboration tools - Even game-based learning ideas. Thanks for sharing! Matt

    I appreciate these types of articles/sites that offer a few resources I am unfamiliar with. As a result, I plan on checking out Wiggio and Twiddla. Collaboration is a key theme among all of these which certainly fit the parameter of this week's module. Nice find.
  •  
    I have to try more of these tools out. It's great that this resource is found and can help our learners stay connected and that we have these kinds of resources to allow them to digitally create and collaborate on projects, and ideas.
  •  
    What a fabulous find! I will definitely be taking a closer look at some of these! Nice job finding this incredible resource.

Intro to communities of practice - 8 views

  •  
    This shows how communities of practice is defined, explains the process of how they've created and what they look like. Further explanation into how they can be applied in a wide variety of environments. The application part discusses how specifically it can exist within education both internally and externally. For EDTECH students, web communities of practice enable us to " extend the reach of our interactions beyond the geographical limitations of traditional communities."

    I like the table they provide that asks the question that a community of practice would ask for each category. I like how they always use the word "we" because of the community aspect.
  •  
    This is a great intro to communities of practice. I've been referring to this site as I work on my creative expression. I like how its written in plain language and easy to understand. The way the theory is broken down is also really helpful.
  •  
    I appreciated the definition. Specifically, I appreciated the distinction between a community and a community of practice based on these three characteristics: the domain (an identity defined by a shared interest(s), the community (engaging in joint activities. Interestingly, a website or having the same job/title is not a community unless there is mutual learning), and the practice (mutual interests do not make a community of practice; by definition, members must be practitioners.) I also found interesting that 1) learning can be the reason or an incidental outcome and 2) sometimes people may not even know that they form a community of practice (for instance, nurses meeting regularly at lunch to discuss their prof. practice.) Thank you for sharing!
  •  
    Etienne Wenger-Trayner explains what CoPs are, where the idea originated, and how the idea of CoPs are being applied in different domains.
  •  
    This website provides an introduction to Communities of Practice, which includes the characteristics of a CoP, examples of Communities of Practice, and how the theory is being applied.
  •  
    This article was incredibly helpful in my comprehension of CoPs. It explains what they are, their three domains, what they look like, and how they are being applied in real life.
  •  
    This is a great resource giving the reader an introduction to CoP - a group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.. The best part of this resource are the 3 critical characteristics of a CoP (domain, community, and practice) explained well.
  •  
    I forgot to add my summary! This is an excellent source that fully explains what a Community of Practice is and how it can be applied. "Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly." I particularly liked the section about what CoPs actually look like. This is a must have resource for every EdTech student.
  •  
    The author lists three "must-haves" to be considered a community of practice: the domain - shared interest, the community - learn from each other, the practice - share a repertoire of resources. Communities of practice fall back to learning theories. The term community of practice refers to a living curriculum. The concept is being applied in organizations, government, education, associations, social sector, international development, and the web.
