Personal Learning Environment
From its inception, the web has always had appeal as an educational resource. Recognising the potential for remote learning, in 2002, the launch of OpenCourseWare at MIT helped propel the initiative into the spotlight, with many universities following suit and providing quality educational material available through the web.

En mi experiencia una de las mejores maneras de aprender un tema específico es investigando, organizando y construyendo tu propio marco personal de información con recursos, herramientas y experiencias alrededor del tema. Cuando pasamos de memorizar un contenido que se nos da predeterminado a coleccionar nuestro propio temario según nuestros intereses, nos sumergimos en una actividad de exploración personal, descubrimiento y comprensión desde el inicio, que sin duda resulta en un aprendizaje muy efectivo.

Cyberbullying: Crossing the Line (6-8)
Wrap-up (5 minutes) You can use these questions to assess your students’ understanding of the lesson objectives. You may want to ask students to reflect in writing on one of the questions, using a journal or an online blog/wiki.

People can feel helpless, ganged up on, worried about their reputation, worried about their safety, etc.It seems as though the minute the iPad was announced, innumerable light bulbs went off as developers and entrepreneurs everywhere came to the same realization: "We could totally use this device as a digital whiteboard!"

Although the device's 10-inch screen may not compare to a full-sized, physical whiteboard, it can be quite handy to use a virtual whiteboard with team members remotely, and the iPad's form factor suits itself quite well to exactly that.
