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.
