"We are developing dynamic Web-based maps, which are a fusion of formal curriculum maps, personal learning records, and community-driven maps. Using established technologies and standards the maps provide 'mash-ups' of information from curriculum databases, ePortfolios and other sources. The project aims to enhance understanding and navigation of the curriculum and provide a means for students to actively map, contextualise, reflect on, and evidence their learning. The maps will also support collaboration, including sharing, rating and discussion of learning resources linked to specific topics in the maps."

"Tablet computing and personal electronic devices such as iPads promise to have a dramatic impact on education. This Ning network was created to explore new and innovative ways iPads and other portable devices could be used in schools and colleges."

"A first-of-its kind resource for the future of education: a comprehensive guide to learning online and charting a personalized path to an affordable credential using the latest innovative tools and organizations."

Ahh so this is the future of RSS readers, but I hate paper.li Agree that Scoop.it is one to watch.

"As firmly as the person at the podium is established in our classrooms, s/he seems even more tenaciously present in workshops and conference sessions... So what [would] you do if you didn't lecture?"

"Here's a look at over 30 content curation tools (mostly free, but some paid/professional tools as well) that will help you cut through the clutter of your information stream to find the gems."

Studying Connectivism in the context of personal 'keeping up to date' rather than in a MOOC context. Acknowledges it is a limited study but it is first steps in this area. Available from our library.

Integrating BBB and Matterhorn

If you want to read about pathological morphogenetic processes and why the PLE notion may be flawed based on interpreting Ivan Illich then read on.

A good set of diagrams that folk have come up with to describe their (or their vision of a) personal learning environment - PLE

During the past decade, rapid developments in information and communications technology have transformed key social, commercial, and political realities. Within that same time period, working at something less than Internet speed, much of the academic and policy debate arising from these new and emerging technologies has been fragmented. There have been few examples of interdisciplinary dialogue about the importance and impact of anonymity and privacy in a networked society. Lessons from the Identity Trail: Anonymity, Privacy and Identity in a Networked Society fills that gap, and examines key questions about anonymity, privacy, and identity in an environment that increasingly automates the collection of personal information and relies upon surveillance to promote private and public sector goals.

Good post on the meaning of web2.0 at a personal level.

Nice idea! Crowdsource your speaker's bio. Saves all that writing in the third person.

The OU does Personal Learning Environments PLEs as a supported project / unit. "This course introduces the main concepts and technologies behind Responsive Open Learning Environments (ROLE). The ROLE project provides tools and services that enable learners to build their own technology-enhanced learning environment based on their needs and preferences."

Account of the news reports on Charlotte Berry @talktoteens who was vilified for being a real person on twitter. (Straight from the Street of Shame school of disgraceful journalism)

Two Potential Futures Our forecast suggests that the learning ecosystem is going to diversify, and indeed has already started to do so. At the American Alliance of Museums' convening on the future of education Glimpses of the Future of Education By Katherine Prince, Senior Director, Strategic Foresight, KnowledgeWorks A detail of a KnowledgeWorks infographic on the future of learning. For the complete infographic go to knowledgeworks. org/strategic-foresight. 1 ® Glimpses of Future Educationin September, I had the pleasure of sharing two plausible scenarios for how the future may take shape. We could find ourselves living in: * a vibrant learning grid in which all of us who care about learning create a flexible and radically personalized learning ecosystem that meets the needs of all learners, or * a fractured landscape in which only those whose families have the time, money and resources to customize or supplement their learning journeys have access to learning that adapts to and meets their needs.

Serious games / gamification. This is an interesting model built around personal health. The 'See how it works' link gives a handy diagram to visualise the structure in applying game theory.
