Twitter, PLEs and PLNs Thought I would share some bits of my thesis on Twitter, PLN’s and PLE’s as others might find it useful. What is a PLN? For all of the conversation occurring among educators about PLNs, there has been surprisingly little academic research on PLNs (Couros, 2010, p. 123). With many educators using this term to describe their own informal learning habits, it is important for educational researchers to investigate exactly what this concept means to those who are using it as a term to describe a learning activity A Personal Learning Network (PLN) is a network of people you connect with for the specific purpose of learning (Tobin, 1998). These people may assist you in your learning by acting as a guide, direct you to learning opportunities, and assist you with finding answers to questions (Tobin, 1998). Digenti (1999) defines a PLN as: Couros (2010) echoes Digentis notion that a PLN is defined by the relationships among the individuals when he states that: References Lalonde, C. (2011). Tobin, D.
Towards alternative lifelong learning(s): what Freire can still teach us Judith Walker, Doctoral Candidate [1] Educational Studies, University of British Columbia I am hopeful, not out of mere stubbornness, but out of an existential, concrete imperative (Freire, 1999, p.8) Introduction In the first edition of the Rizoma Freireano, McLaren and Jaramillo (2008) contributed an article calling for ‘alternative globalizations’. In this paper, the authors firmly reject the inevitability of a global neoliberal capitalism, which has come to dominate our understandings of the nature of globalization, and instead put forward the alternative ideals of ‘critical globalization studies’ and ‘critical globalization pedagogy’. Lifelong learning, like globalization, has become a hegemonic discourse (Fairclough, 2006). In what follows, I discuss what I call ‘the dominant lifelong learning imperative’ and its link to the ‘dominant globalization thesis’. The Dominant Lifelong Learning Imperative The Development of Lifelong Learning… Neo-liberal Meets Third Way Capitalism
20 Innovative Ways High Schools Are Using Twitter – Technology in Education Chinese students abroad: why they choose the UK and how they see their future <a href=" students abroad: why they choose the UK and how they see their future.</a> Introduction Against the background of a recent and substantial rise in the number of Chinese coming to the UK for their higher education, this article reports the results of a survey of 188 Chinese students studying in the UK at Lancashire Business School, University of Central Lancashire in 2009. This research adds to a somewhat limited number of studies that have attempted to develop an appreciation of why Chinese students decide to study abroad and in particular, the UK. recent research has indentified countries that Chinese students may find attractive as potential destinations for expatriation, this article explores the thinking behind such choices and specifically why some destinations are seen as more attractive than others.

Please tell me about your PKM I had the pleasure of a visit from Jon Husband this week, only the second time that we’ve been together. Jon and his wirearchy framework have been an integral part of my views on the network era workplace since 2004. I even have a separate category for wirearchy on this website. During one of our conversations at a local café, Jon suggested that in wirearchies, personal knowledge management (PKM) could become the new resumé. I think that asking, “What can you do for the organization today?” How do you keep your learning up to date? Describing how we stay actively engaged in our learning might be a better indicator of future performance, in a world where many answers do not lie in the past, but in how we manage to make connections with the present.

5 redenen waarom Twitter in het onderwijs werkt! Bij de combinatie tussen onderwijs en Twitter krimpen de meeste mensen ineen. Wat maak het nu uit dat kinderen weten wat Kanye West eet, hoelaat Lil Wayne het toilet bezoekt en hoeveel paar pumps Beyonce in de kast heeft staan? Twitter, andere sociale media en internet in het algemeen leiden kinderen alleen maar af van de kern van onderwijs. Namelijk het onderwijs ontvangen op scholen. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat Twitter in het onderwijs werkt! 1. Verder zijn er de vele derden die het mogelijk maken om door afbeeldingen, video’s, petities, etc de teksten te versterken. Zelf ben ik absoluut nog niet overtuigd van het onderwijs via Twitter.

How important is Twitter in your Personal Learning Network? Twitter and the Personal Learning Network (PLN). If you are a connected educator, chances are that you have often seen these two terms used together and, perhaps like me, you have wondered what's the connection? This question formed the basis of my 2011 Masters thesis and while my research showed that you can have a PLN without Twitter (and, indeed, those non-Twitter spaces are important for a well developed PLN), Twitter does play a unique role within a PLN, which makes it a powerful platform for networked learning and professional development [1]. Literature Review Twitter is a free service that is part microblogging platform and part social network, which allows users to send and receive short, 140 character messages [2]. A PLN is an informal learning network of people you connect with for the specific purpose of learning, based on reciprocity and a level of trust that each party is actively seeking value added information for the other [10, 11].

Professionaliseer jezelf als docent via Twitter « Maatschappijleer, ict en meer Twitter? Is dat niet dat gedoe waar mijn leerlingen steeds mee bezig zijn? Ja, misschien wel.

What is “Personal Knowledge Management”? I’ve been participating in the on-line Social Learning programme these past three weeks, facilitated by Harold Jarche. One of the weekly assignments set by Harold was for the delegates to articulate what we have learnt about Personal Knowledge Management and how we would explain it to others, in the form of a brief “elevator pitch”. This is mine: What is ”Personal Knowledge Management”? About Steve Dale Stephen Dale is both an evangelist and practitioner in the use of Web 2.0 technologies and Social Media applications to support personal development and knowledge sharing.
