suewaters:Building Your PLN Constructing Personal Learning Environments open online course: Level of Use Study | csessums.com [note: This is Wendy Drexler and my proposal for the American Educational Research Association (AERA) conference (New Orleans, Louisiana, April 2011). It was accepted with additional final results.] Abstract An open online course provided the platform for facilitation of student construction of personal learning environments (PLEs). Intro A plethora of emerging web applications and widget-based aggregation tools provide numerous options for learners to access, synthesize, organize, and create content. A MOOC is one example of a larger movement to create and share open educational resources (OER). Graham Attwell (2010), one of the first researchers to write about personal learning environments, defined them as “the spaces in which people interact and communicate and whose ultimate result is learning and the development of collective know-how. In what ways is a personal learning environment being used by participants? Data was collected collected in two stages using a mixed methodology.

How To Create a ‘Personal Learning Environment’ to Stay Relevant in 2013 “Our understanding of learning has expanded at a rate that has far outpaced our conceptions of teaching. A growing appreciation for the porous boundaries between the classroom and life experience…has created not only promising changes but also disruptive moments in teaching.” EDUCAUSE Review, 2012 This quote from Disrupting Ourselves: The Problem of Learning in Higher Education (Bass, 2012), gives a good a reason as any for educators to develop a Personal learning Environment [PLE]; a space where we can keep up with the experimental modes of learning, instruction, changing pedagogy and instructional methods that surfaced in 2012. Three Reasons Why Educators Need a PLEEducation is in a phase of disruption (not news to anyone)—and it’s not just a blip or a bump, but is what Harvard professor and author Clayton Christenson describes as disruptive innovation. We need to disrupt ourselves: The model of higher education is at a turning point. Closing Thoughts Resources: Like this:

Create a personal learning environment with Symbaloo | Instructional Design Fusions Symbaloo is a visual, social bookmarking tool that makes it easy to access your personal knowledge management tools. The technology (or what are my powers) The Symbaloo interface When you register to use Symbaloo, you gain access to a slick user interface that allows you to create webmixes of your favorite Web sites. The Symbaloo interface looks a bit like a high-tech Scrabble board with movable “tiles” on it. These tiles give you access to Web pages or other webmixes. The Symbaloo folks have kindly provided a number of tiles to get you started, giving you access to YouTube, Flickr, Google, Wikipedia, Craigslist, and even the Yellow Pages. When you view a webmix, you’ll see a centerbox in the middle of the page. The tour widget is specialized. Creating and editing tiles You can personalize tiles that link to your favorite Web sites to create visual cues that are meaningful to you. This video provides more information on creating and editing tiles. Instructional strategies Symbaloo EDU

Personalized Learning - K-12 Education When learning is personalized, teachers help students find what they like and want to learn about and what their strengths and needs are. Then, the teacher sets up projects that are in line with the students’ interest and with academic standards. This growing movement is focused on changing the learning environment so students can take more ownership of their learning and teachers can work with them to discover their passions and interests. The breakthrough idea in personalized learning is the striking shift in the teacher-student team. In traditional learning, the teacher is the leader and the student is a mostly passive recipient. In personalized learning, the student is the leader, and the teacher is the activator and the advisor. In personalized learning, the teacher-student bond doesn’t matter less; it matters more.

Competency-Based Learning or Personalized Learning Transitioning away from seat time, in favor of a structure that creates flexibility, allows students to progress as they demonstrate mastery of academic content, regardless of time, place, or pace of learning. Competency-based strategies provide flexibility in the way that credit can be earned or awarded, and provide students with personalized learning opportunities. These strategies include online and blended learning, dual enrollment and early college high schools, project-based and community-based learning, and credit recovery, among others. This type of learning leads to better student engagement because the content is relevant to each student and tailored to their unique needs. It also leads to better student outcomes because the pace of learning is customized to each student. By enabling students to master skills at their own pace, competency-based learning systems help to save both time and money.

¿Sabes lo que es un PLE?, ¿tienes uno? | preparatusoposiciones.es PLE es el acrónimo en inglés de Entorno Personal de Aprendizaje, hace referencia a todos los recursos (herramientas, servicios y conexiones) que utilizamos para aprender. Es un proyecto de aprendizaje elaborado por nosotros mismos, con nuestros propios objetivos, recursos, motivación y ganas por aprender que se enriquece y mejora gracias a la interacción con otros a través de la red (PLE en la wikipedia). El PLE es un enfoque del aprendizaje, todos tenemos nuestro propio PLE, tú, que lees este blog para aprender sobre la preparación de oposiciones, también lo tienes, y este blog forma parte de él (espero que una parte útil). Para entender mejor lo que es un PLE escuchamos a uno de los referentes en su estudio: Jordi Adell (@jordi_a en twitter). Me gustaría destacar el aspecto final, que quizá es lo más característico del PLE: tu propia participación, ya que en tu PLE no sólo recibes sino que también produces y compartes información.
