Dos herramientas web para hacer dibujos animados
Ideal para pasar un buen rato con nuestros hijos enseñándoles los secretos de la animación, estas dos aplicaciones que os presentamos hoy nos pueden ayudar a crear dibujos animados en pocos minutos, dibujando cada cuadro con herramientas que ayudan a obtener un resultado bastante profesional, permitiendo la exportación y divulgación de la obra de arte. makeitshareit.com Además de tener una sección desde donde es posible dibujar usando varios tipos de pinceles y colores, podemos acceder a la parte de animaciones, navegando por los trabajos creados por otros usuarios y permitiendo dibujar los cuadros aprovechando el realizado anteriormente para tenerlo como referencia a la hora de simular el movimiento.

Paras tapa oppia yksilöllisesti: PLE
Verkko-opiskelun keskeinen lupaus on yksilöllisyyden lisääntyminen. Siihen kuuluvat mm. henkilökohtaiset oppimispolut, opiskelu omaan tahtiin ja itse valituilla välineillä. Kaikkein aidoimmillaan yksilöllisyys toteutuu henkilökohtaisissa oppimisympäristöissä (PLE = Personal Learning Environment) ja -oppimisverkostoissa (PLN = Personal Learning Network). Tässä artikkelissa pureudun ensin mainittuun.
23 Resources about Personal Learning Networks (PLNs)
Part of the Cool Sites series For the past year, I have researched the what, who, when, how, and why of Personal/Professional/Passionate Learning Networks (PLNs). We have seen the benefits of the people we choose to connect, collaborate, and problem solve with through social media. The educators, subject matter experts (SMEs), authors, and mentors we choose to derive knowledge from help us self-reflect on our methodologies and beliefs. They support us, remember our birthdays, celebrate our accomplishments, and stir within us a passion to improve the status quo.

Educators: Embrace Social Media
What is up with teacher development and the fear of social media? So many educators are soaring into the next advent of learning, while others continue to lecture and talk at the kids, avoiding the digital tools that are so readily available. Yesterday, in a passing conversation discussing sharing of great resources, I asked a colleague if they knew what a PLN is? ”Huh?” she said. “A P L what?”
Hybrid PD supported by online ‘communities of practice’
With the many professional educational technology resources available to the K12 community today, it’s imperative that we transition from episodic and ineffective models to an interactive environment that is digitally-based and connected 24/7. This “learning powered by technology” is the approach outlined in the DOE’s National Education Technology Plan (NETP), which calls for applying the advanced technologies used in our daily personal and professional lives to our entire education system to improve student learning; accelerate and scale the adoption of effective practices; and use data and information for continuous improvement. Online professional development environments are the key to helping teachers everywhere achieve this goal. Online programs provide a forward-looking model for professional learning that blends effective in-person events, courses, and workshops with expanded opportunities, immediacy, and convenience.
