PLN web2.0

shared by anonymous on 26 Jun 10 - Cached
  • A PLN becomes a student's virtual locker, and its content changes based on the student's current course work.
  • "My PLN has RSS feeds to tie everything onto my iGoogle page, such as new blog posts, updates on the wiki, and so on,"
  • iGoogle page
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Really Simple Syndication, or RSS, feeder
  • When a project is over, they delete the old resources to make room for new ones.
  • iGoogle page is very helpful and helps me keep things organized.
  • It is also indispensable to our project-learning curriculum, which includes challenging projects such as the Flat Classroom Project, the Horizon Project, and Digiteen.
  • These buttons are on just about every blog, wiki, and mainstream media Web site. Clicking the button provides a free subscription to that site's latest information.
  • Google Reader, netvibes, Pageflakes, Bloglines, and my preferred reader, iGoogle, are all examples of sites providing RSS readers.
  • The PLN is never complete, but it evolves to meet the changing needs of each individual project.
  • uses Portaportal to create a PLN as the start page for secondary school projects.
  • Students also share a copy of their PLNs with me as the first step of every project, and I periodically check the content of these pages for appropriateness
