PLE or VLE? « Beyond Distance Research Alliance Blog - 0 views

  •  
    Nice comparison of PLE and an institutional VLE (or LMS) -- in this case Blackboard -- based on what Gabi Witthaus wants to do with her PLE. In conclusion the VLE is seen has constraining so maybe it's the freedom to choose that puts the 'P' in PLE.

    Online interactions reinforce face to face class interaction. A case of "weak ties" strengthening/supplementing the strong ties? More ties is always more better, i would think.

  • many schools and teachers have still been reluctant to "friend" students
  • that "always public" element of Twitter that makes many nervous
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • it's also about sharing with the right people. Circles will allow what educational consultant Tom Barnett calls "targeted sharing," something that will be great for specific classes and topics
  • Skype has become an incredibly popular tool to bring in guests to a classroom via video chat -
  • teachers are already talking about the possibility of not just face-to-face video conversation but the potential for integration of whiteboards, screen-sharing, Google Docs, and other collaborative tools
  • Google + seems like the solution for someone like me who wants to use the web to have conversations about school topics with students and parents and yet not have students and parents have access to my personal posts.
