Personal Learning Network
Presenter:
David Warlick
Abstract:
We teach in a time of rapid change, when, for the first time in history, we can not clearly describe the future for which we are preparing our children. This is one reason why learning has become a critical part of what it is to teach.
This engaging presentation will describe and demonstrate a number of emerging technologies that are increasingly being used by educators to form and cultivate their Personal Learning Networks — connecting themselves to people and resources that help them do their jobs.
Learn how to grow your own connections to information and experiences that help you remain an evolving expertise in your field and an engaged member of your profession. Learn how educators are blogging to both answer and ask questions, engaging in social chatting and attending virtual staff development events, and harnessing the magic of RSS to train valuable information to find them — to be a 21st Century Education.
In many ways, this blog entry may become part of your personal learning network. We will have a number of facilities in action during the session for digital conversation, but I encourage you to come back to this blog entry and post your own comments about what you’ve learned, how it may impact on your work and help you accomplish your goals, and most especially, PLN techniques that you have found or invented will be another.
You will be able to find my online handouts blog at http://handouts.davidwarlick.com/ and access to my handouts from SecondLife at http://davidwarlick.com/sl/.
Can someone tell me how to say “Until we meet again!” in Hawaiian?
“A hui hou” means “goodbye, until we meet again….”
Much food for thought already today. I had a wonderful conversation at lunch with a diverse group of people. The one thing we know for sure is that we need to jump in the water and not just dip in our toes to check the temperature.
Thank you David for a wonderful session. What a treat!
It was an overload of valuable information that will take time to digest! I sincerely thank you. I wanted to stop by to say hello, but I’ll do that tomorrow. Have a great evening!
p.s. I use Netvibes, but never knew about dragging the RSS icon into the link box.
p.s.s. We have established a del.icio.us account with web resources that we share with our campuses. We posted a link in our blogroll and have emailed the link as well.
