Trailmeme « via פλenK

I thought, it would be an opportunity for me to create with this tool the assignment of 3rd week MOOC #PLENK2010. As George Siemens mentioned it, an artifact of learning. My colleagues are mostly Web 1.0 practitioners. To all of us pedagogy comes first, technology later. If one would ask me, how one may learn about the future of the web, I would tell her “A trail walk through the web will enhance your knowledge”. I see my documentary of my own learning via Trailmeme as an offer to fellow teachers. Since my colleagues mother tongue is German, I named my trail “Webgang”, which resembles the word “Krebsgang”, the walk of a crab. The signposts are in German too, but I presume, you will be able to walk the trail anyhow. When you get to my trail, please click the start button on top of map to the right. Does to support trailmeme, windows explorer works fine. Webgang on Trailmeme.

In a recent post to Dave's Educational Blog, Dave Cormier made a number of comments about MOOCs (massively open online courses) in general, #PLENK2010 in particular, and personal learning networks/environments.

Complexity and Personal Learning Environments

Most of what he had to say was, as usual, quite insightful and very much in line with the way I tend to think about these issues, but he expressed a rather forceful caveat about the phrase personal learning environment (PLE). In short, he does not like its potential emphasis on the personal, or individual learner distinct from the group. He says: It is easy to see the transition to PLE as the ‘rebel yell’ of education. The splitter leaving the fold to strike out on their own to a place where they can make their own decisions, commune with knowledge on their own terms, thank you very much, and not be under the evil yoke of a power mongering educator and not have to suffer the ignominy of working in groups with other classmates. Ahh, we say, right! E-learning Debate, 6th October. Wiki.
