Presentation of some widgets developed by ROLE project

Abstract: "Networking is a key skill in professional careers, supporting the individual's growth and learning. However, little is known about how professionals intentionally manage the connections in their personal networks and which factors influence their decisions in connecting with others for the purpose of learning. In this article, we present a model of personal professional networking for creating a personal learning network, based on an investigation through a literature study, semi-structured interviews and a survey."

Quote of the video description from Wendy Drexler: "The Networked Student was inspired by CCK08, a Connectivism course offered by George Siemens and Stephen Downes during fall 2008. It depicts an actual project completed by Wendy Drexler's high school students. The Networked Student concept map was inspired by Alec Couros' Networked Teacher. I hope that teachers will use it to help their colleagues, parents, and students understand networked learning in the 21st century. Anyone is free to use this video for educational purposes. You may download, translate, or use as part of another presentation. Please share."

Quote of the description of the video by David Gauntlett: "Presentation by David Gauntlett, Professor of Media at University of Westminster, about his forthcoming book 'Making is Connecting', which connects Web 2.0 with craft, activism, happiness and social capital studies, William Morris, and Ivan Illich."

Thank you for sharing this. I never thought of creativity and making as a way to increase engagement. Making is connecting. Great video!
