Teacher's Corner: Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) | American English - 1 views

  •  
    This is a simple resource that explains personal learning networks for those being introduced to it.
  •  
    The first section of this resource is great for someone new to PLNs. It expresses how PLNs provide the tools and resources that allow for an educators continuous growth. I also like that this resource explains that teachers may still have face-to-face PLNs within their district or subject area. However, it is beneficial to have the digital PLN as well to allow for growth that can expand further and can be accessed at all times. In addition, this article emphasizes how it is important to remember the "personal" part of PLNs, you can adapt your PLN to your changing needs.

A theoretical framework for buildin g online communities of practice with social networking tools - 1 views

  •  
    This is a link to a paper about building online communities of practice with social networking tools. It details the CoP model introduced by Wenger, McDermott & Snyder: that is comprised of members and continually changes, that it is mutual engagement that binds members together, and that there is a shared set of resources that develops over time. The domain of CoP is is common ground that created a community. Practice comes from the resources that are created. The authors lead of of this into their proposed phases of the learning process in a CoP: Context, Discourse, Action, Reflection, and Reorganization.
  •  
    This paper shows how members of communities of practice can increase their learning through social networking tools. They discuss how social networking is the forum for the domain (common ground) where people can discuss their ideas. This helps create personal meaning. This happens with a community which is a group of people who want to learn and interact together. The practice is the knowledge that the group develops. Within the article, he discusses how different social networks enhances communities of practice.

Connectivism - 0 views

  •  
    I know, I know. Wikipedia. In an educational context. I have been a Wikipedia editor since 2012 and I have found it to be a rewarding experience. More than my anecdotal experience, there is increasing evidence of Wikipedia's increasing acceptance in academia. There are even Wikipedians in residence at major universities. This article on connectivism is a great overview and a good starting point for understanding the concept and some of its intellectual underpinnings.

Participants' Perceptions of Learning and Networking in Connectivist MOOCs - 4 views

  •  
    We hear much about the failure of MOOCs because of extraordinarily low completion rates, but what we do not hear about is whether those MOOCs are connectivist or instructionist. This article talks about the successful aspects of connectivist MOOCs, which may include promoting the development of lasting communities of practice and personal learning networks.

What Is A Personal Learning Network? - 5 views

  •  
    This article, and more specifically, the video within, explains Personal Learning Networks. The emphasis on connectivity makes it clear how PLNs and connectivism are related.
  •  
    I liked the simplicity of this source Jill. I does a nice job clearly explaining just what a PLN is and what its core aspects are. Thanks for sharing!
  •  
    To the point and very clear. More than the reading, the video did an excellent job of explaining what a PLN is and how you can best use it to your own advantage. Great source.

Places to Go: Connectivism & Connective Knowledge - 3 views

  •  
    Connectivism is an adaptation to constructivism for the digital age that we are living and the technology that goes with it. It is a red flag that indicates that all theories have to adapt to the time. This means that it is great that we look forward and get adapted to the XXI century but there is still an important foundation in well-established learning theories like constructivism.
