Notas del editor
- The catch phrase bundling all this together is a PLN – a personal learning network. You can use social networks for fast and free professional learning to build up your knowledge and your profile.
- If you’ve seen the film of the same name, you know Facebook is one example of a social network. Research in a number of academic fields has shown that social networks operate on many levels, from families up to the level of nations, and play a critical role in determining the way problems are solved, organizations are run, and the degree to which individuals succeed in achieving their goals.”Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network
- You can see how the three areas feed into one another to create connected learning. This is not just for students.
- A Personal Learning Network is any group that helps you develop and learn. But it’s a two way street. You need to give back as well. It can be facilitated by technology, be f2f or a combination of both. It doesn’t have to be work related. You might be a quilter who wants to learn and share with others. Social media has enabled us to develop our PLNs to a wider and broader group.
- Any other ideas what a PLN could do for you?
- We’re all faced withInformation overload. A good PLN can help us filter this tsunami of information. It supports us and helps us learn new things. We can try out ideas and thoughts. We can share successes and failures.
- Our PLN helps sort and catalogue all of the information on the internet and points us towards the best and most appropriate resources. As young people have often said to me “If it’s important, I’ll hear about it”.’ Howard Gardner
- Courtesy of Sue Waters, this Wordle is from teachers explaining why they need a PLN. A PLN is a 2 way street, you must enter conversations and contribute to build relationships.
- Who supports your professional learning on and offline? How do you communicate with other professionals?
- I developed this program in 2010 and the State Library of Victoria now manage, mentor and update the program.
- A word about Fb. I think it’s best for personal connections, rather than professional ones, but I’m personally not a fan of it. That’s not to say that there aren’t plenty of educators who use it this way. It’s up to you though.
- Blogging is an important way to reflect on your professional learning, a great place to share your successes and failures, to share resources, to have a place for your online resources, to connect with people and to contribute to our profession. Posterous is a great way to blog as you simply email your blog post to posterous and they do the rest. You can also set your posts to automatically publish to Twitter.
- Here’s an example of more than one person being able to post to the blog
- Who’s got a computer, iPad, iPhone or iPod touch? You can begin your love affair with Twitter today…
- Twitter gives you recommendations about who to follow. Have a look at them but decide for yourself.
- All of our presenters today are on Twitter. You can begin by following them.
- All of our presenters today are on Twitter. You can begin by following them.

- Can be useful. Best bet is to use it on your mobile device.
- Using # for columns so your information is pre-sorted for you.
- Google has some handy tools including iGoogle, Google+ and Google Reader
- iGoogle helps you keep everything in one place. If you have a Google account, you can do this now. If not, sign up for a Google account and we’ll get started.
- Now you have a Google account, try using G+ for connections.
- Many feeds are the same as Twitter, but I see G+ useful for ‘hangouts’ – like a multiple Skype phonecall and perhaps for using with older students – have one circle per class
- RSS readers are fabulous for keeping you up-to-date with whatever you’re interested in. Go to Google Reader once you have a Google account and start adding RSS feeds.
- Jenny Luca’s blog. A fabulous Victorian TL. Also use people’s websites listed in their Twitter profile
- A very handy bookmarking service that allows you to share your favourites as well as being able to access bookmarks from your PLN.
- You can add a bookmarklet to your browser to easily add links to Diigo
- You can opt in for weekly emails from the Diigo groups you’ve joined.
- Pakratius lets you add links automatically from Twitter. Just tweet or retweet a link and Pakratius will add it to your Diigo account.
- Paper.li is a way to keep up with and share your twitter feeds in a newspaper style edition. It automatically selects tweets from the people you and # follow and publishes them once a day. It also tweets the link to your twitter account.
- Scoop.it it linked to twitter and fb. You can curate (or collect) items from the web on topics of your choice and follow other people’s topics.
- It’s a great way to share information with colleagues or students.
- Social media tools and PLNs are all about sharing, collegiality and building communities. Wikipedia says a community is: a group of interacting people, possibly living in close proximity, and often refers to a group that shares some common values, and is attributed with social cohesion within a shared geographical location, generally in social units larger than a household. We no longer need to live within close proximity and so our communities are much more diverse than ever.
- a professional learning community focuses upon removing barriers, encouraging collaboration, dialogue, ready access to like minded people in similar settingsA professional learning community is based upon respect, responsibility and collaboration. It reflects the need for all members of the community to view themselves as learners.Your PLN are just a few keystrokes away, in terms of networking with colleagues from across the country and globally, making contact with colleagues has never been easier. This creates flexibility, openness to change and adaptability, which are definitely requirements for successfully managing the fast paced, continually changing context education exists within.From the http://resourcelinkbce.wordpress.com/2011/09/21/how-social-media-can-enhance-schools-as-professional-learning-communities/ blog
- Linda is a Victorian AP. She says, “Up until this point of time, I felt that my existence on twitter had been more ‘take’ than ‘give’ and that I had stalked around soaking up information and ideas, but offering little. I had benefitted greatly from the sharing and collaboration that goes on there and decided that it was about time for me to give something back. I could share my learning journey and illustrate how I have been involved in an global online environment. My learning journey had been self directed, self paced and authentic. I was passionate and genuinely excited about about what I was learning. I could draw parallels to student learning and implications for engaging learning environments.”
