Who's your teacher
Think of a problem you solved recently
What happened next?
(e) Your PLN commented on your blog, retweeted your post, and
started a conversation on a social network.
Learning continued, learning continued, learning continued.
(a) You got your answer, solved your problem, filed it away and the learning
stopped
(b) you discussed your problem with a colleague, learning continued
briefly and then probably stopped.
(c) you shared your problem and solution via email. Learning continued briefly, was
probably buried and then stopped.
(d) you shared your problem and solution via a blog, micro-blog, or other community space. The learning was archived to be continued
indefinitely.
PLNs Add Value to Society:Personal, Communal, Public, Civic
"More value can be gotten out of voluntary participation
than anyone previously imagined, thanks to
improvements in our ability to connect with one another and improvements in our
imagination of what is possible from such
participation."

Learning Theories Reflect The Time In Which They Were Created
My PLN Story
Leaning into my discomfortPracticing Inquiry
Punch Line 1:We need, first, to take charge of our own
learning, and next, help others take charge of their own learning. We need to
move beyond the idea that an education is something that is provided for us, and toward the idea that an education is
something that we create for ourselves.Stephen Downes,
The Huffington Post
Punch Line 2Develop proficiency with the tools of technologyBuild relationships with others to pose and solve
problems collaboratively and cross-culturallyDesign and share information for global
communities to meet a variety of purposesManage, analyze, and synthesize multiple
streams of simultaneous informationCreate, critique, analyze, and evaluate multimedia textsAttend to the ethical responsibilities required by
these complex environments
