Developing a 'Personal Learning Network‘
Darcy Moore
Rubric
Build your own PLN using Web 2.0 tools like Twitter, Google Reader, WordPress blogs, RSS feeds and social bookmarking with Delicious.
By the end of the session...
We will have considered:
• Web 2.0 tools that enable us to communicate, create, collaborate and connect
• the concept of a 'Personal Learning Network' (PLN)
Why?
• In times of unprecedented change we need to collaborate using powerful online tools and, to use a metaphor that has been floating around for a while, ‘build planes as they fly’
• Developing a PLN is the most effective way of learning about the tools, as we use them and discover more from colleagues – locally and internationally

• Our participation is essential if students are to get the full benefit of ‘learning devices’ and wireless connectivity
• All the tools are basically free (and fun)
• We will continue to learn while ‘building planes’
