Professional learning networks.
This document discusses embracing professional learning networks and preparing for 21st century learning. It encourages using e-learning and various Web 2.0 tools as part of personal learning networks. These networks are based on the idea that knowledge is distributed across connections and learning involves constructing and traversing those networks. The document provides examples of tools for blogging, microblogging, social bookmarking, RSS feeds, wikis, and more that can be used to support learning networks. It emphasizes that learning is becoming an open source project where knowledge is collaboratively built.

The aggregator will find the new content and display it when it becomes available. • In essence, it is content that comes to you, instead of having to search for it. It will save you an infinite amount of time. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS

SOCIAL BOOKMARKING • Socialbookmarking is a method for Internet users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet with the help of metadata (tags). • Folksonomy (from folk + taxonomy) is the practice and method of collaboratively creating and managing tags to annotate and categorize content. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_bookmarking
- 46.
- 47. SOCIAL BOOKMARKING TIPS 1.Great for groups researching a topic together or an instructor that wants to share great websites they have found. 2. Others can subscribe to your bookmarks or individual tags and receive them whenever the publisher adds a new bookmark. 3. Create working bibliographies for projects by ensuring they share a common tag. 4. Build lists of resources with fellow students/ teachers (decide on common tags first). 5. Create a network with friends or fellow club members with whom you share an interest. 6. Spend a few minutes planning how you’ll tag so that your tags are consistent (remember – no spaces within tags!) • Plural vs singular • Teacher’s names / course names 7. Clean up your tags periodically using the delete and rename tag functions. Adapted from: http://www.slideshare.net/leonardstern/rss-in-education/

- 88. LEARNING IS BECOMINGAN OPEN SOURCE PROJECT • An Open Source project is a software product that is collaboratively built. • Everyone has access to help build the product if they have something worthwhile to contribute. • No one owns it. No one takes credit for it. • Everyone gets to use the product… even those who did not help build it. • The “Sage on the Stage” is dead! Most of us just don’t know it yet.
- 89. THE DARK SIDE •A PLN Can be a Tender Trap! • It is estimated that a new Web 2.0 type application is released every 10 minutes! • It’s easy to get so infatuated with the bells and whistles of Web 2.0 applications that you forget why you started to look for new applications in the first place… to make your personal and professional life better… not more complicated.

- 176. PLEs building laidthe foundations of some main ideas: (1) learning is an ongoing process and tools to support this learning are needed (2) the role of the individual in self-organizing learning is important (3) learning can take place in different contexts and situations and cannot be provided by a single learning provider. Attwell Graham Building PLE on start pages Personal Learning Environment
- 177. PLEs are systemsthat help learners take control of and manage their own learning. This includes providing support for learners to set their own learning goals, manage their learning; managing both content and process; communicate with others in the process of learning and thereby achieve learning goals.

Some advanced studentsduring the PLE building self-orient and arrange content, knowledge and contacts in two different networks: personal and professional The transition from PLE to PfLN passes through a middle step of PLN set up This process is dynamic and continuously adapted to the present students’ interests In some cases the boarders between PLN and PfLN are blurred, because of coincidence of personal and professional interests PLE can be presented as a core for networks expanding The PLE building supports students in socialization and network processes set up Professional Network Organizing
- 188. Conclusion • A modelfor PLE building is proposed • The modified Rogers’ model for competence development lifecycle in a learning network is used in order to be examined the main phases in competence progress of each student • Social networks contribute to the processes by which learners meet and communicate, and pool, share, learn about and reuse their resources, knowledge and competencies • PLE building is found to be a core for PLN and PfLN deployment • The transition from PLE to PfLN is an important step that supports students to become self-organized and life-long learners
