Structuring Personal Learning Environments for Students: Useful Guidance from Wendy Drexler « 21k12
In the project to educate our students to be digitally savvy and empower them to use the resources of the web to best pursue their own passions in learning as well as to research, evaluate, and use information in their coursework, we could stand to be more intentional in helping them shape their online environment than we have been thus far. Truth be told, I could stand to be more savvy in my own organizing of online learning and networking: I’ve been slow to use tools and develop skills for managing online resource, such as the use of vehicles like Symbaloo , Evernote , or Diigo , and I want to take inspiration from the 7th grade student in the video above to move forward in this way and learn and practive better these skills and with these tools.

"Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important." — Bill Gates Maybe you have been tapped to offer a popular course via the Internet, or you are looking to take advantage of the growing opportunities available to expand your professional portfolio.
This paper examines how emergent technologies could influence the design of learning environments. It will pay particular attention to the roles of educators and learners in creating networked learning experiences on massive open online courses (MOOCs). The research shows that it is possible to move from a pedagogy of abundance to a pedagogy that supports human beings in their learning through the active creation of resources and learning places by both learners and course facilitators.

Si quetremos denominar a esta época CIVILIACIÓN DEL CONOCIMIENTO, como en algunas ocasiones lo ha dicho Seymour Papert, debemos hacer que el valor añadido que ello representa sirva para ayudar a la sociedad, lo cuál ahora no está sucediendo, por tanto solo sería una inteliquia que no se cumple. Alberto Mollón ¿Civilización del conocimiento? ¿Cómo denominamos entonces a la civilización egipcia y a su pensamiento? ¿Y a la civilización del siglo de Pericles? ¿No era civilización del conocimiento la formada entorno a Sócrates, Platón o Aristóteles?

Social Intelligence In eLearning
In the most current issue of the Harvard Business Review , I learned that neuroscientists have discovered that social interactions literally effect our brain chemistry. Not such a surprise, really since our interactions create emotional responses and, in the brain and body, different emotions are associated with different chemicals. The article features Daniel Goldman, who launched the concept of emotional intelligence in leadership a decade ago, and contends: “Leading effectively is, in other words, less about mastering situations — or even mastering social skill sets — than about developing a genuine interest in and talent for fostering positive feelings in the people whose cooperation and support you need.”
