Seek Sense Share Note: my blog is where I hammer out ideas, so you may be finding some of these posts a bit repetitive. Sorry about that My working definition of personal knowledge management: PKM: a set of processes, individually constructed, to help each of us make sense of our world, work more effectively and contribute to society. PKM is also an enabling process for wirearchy: ” a dynamic two-way flow of power and authority based on knowledge, trust, credibility and a focus on results enabled by interconnected people and technology” Some Observations: PKM is part of the social learning contract. Explaining PKM: I have looked at the PKM process as: Sort-Categorize-Make Explicit-Retrieve Connect-Contribute-Exchange Aggregate-Filter-Connect. Currently, this makes the most sense to me: Seek-Sense-Share
A Comprehensive Guide to Content Curation Depending on your point of view, content on the internet can be a vast collection of treasures, a cesspool swimming in filth, or a big pile of gold specks mixed in with an even bigger pile of dirt. My guess is that most people lean towards the last one, giving rise to content curation, the process of finding the gold among the dirt, as a very popular online activity. At its most basic, content curation is the process of finding, organizing, and presenting content from the flood of information and media that inundate the web by the second. Content curation isn’t about creating new content, just like a museum creator has no hand in creating the artifacts she decides to put on display. It’s not about indiscriminately collecting content (that’s aggregation, like what an RSS reader does), either, just as a museum curator doesn’t simply point to any object in a warehouse when deciding which artifacts will be included for a particular show. There are many ways content curation happens online.
The Complete Guide To Twitter Hashtags In Education What is a hashtag? A word or phrase preceded by a “#.” How do hashtags work? Twitter can be a busy place with lots of tweets–and thus lots of “noise.” A #hashtag is a way to aggregate tweets that are appended with a hashtag. Who can use hashtags? Anyone. What else do I need to know? Don’t hashtag spam–if your tweet doesn’t add to that hashtag’s topic, discussion, or user base, don’t add the hashtag.Use more than one hashtag if it applies to more than one topic, but choose wisely. Meeting Times Many of the hashtags have “meeting times” where educators agree to “meet and tweet”–that is, send out messages on a topic at a certain time on a certain day. If you do participate at the agreed upon time, you’ll see the tweets stream in live and participate in said conversation (via twitter) in what is nearly real-time. Note, this list of hashtags will be updated periodically, including reorganization, functional linking on all hashtags, and the addition of meeting times and focus areas. Popular Hashtags

My daily PKM routine (practices and toolset) Harold Jarche is a leading authority on Personal Knowledge Management, which he describes as a set of processes, individually constructed, to help each of us make sense of our world, and work more effectively. He has developed a popular Seek-Sense-Share framework which identifies the 3 key elements of PKM (see diagram on the right) Harold writes about PKM continuously in his blog, and has also helped thousands of people worldwide use this framework in his very popular online workshops, which he runs privately for organisations or publically. I have talked and written a lot about the use of social media for professional learning, and in particular how social tools have transformed the way I work and learn. I was recently asked how my own use of social media fits onto Harold’s PKM framework. Although I search for (ie seek) stuff regularly during the day on Google, most of what I find out comes from the continuous flow of information from my professional network.
Franco Torcellan: Quando la ricerca online diventa prodotto ... dai diamanti non nasce niente dal letame nascono i fior ... La ricerca in rete presenta non poche difficoltà: internet è rappresentabile anche come una grande biblioteca caotica dove materiali di grande qualità sono mescolati a documenti ben poco attendibili, di scarsa fattura ed anche totalmente errati e fasulli. Anche se sono state elaborate metodologie e prassi per la valutazione della qualità delle informazioni reperite in rete (PDF, Kb 524), qualcuno è molto scettico su tutto questo e tende a rifiutare le nuove modalità e forme della conoscenza. David Weinberger afferma, invece, che "La conoscenza in rete è meno certa, ma più umana. Del resto gli stessi filtri sono contenuti: Google, ad esempio, ordina i risultati tenendo conto soprattutto di chi linka che cosa. La nuova conoscenza è dunque ampia, senza confini, populista, accreditata dagli altri, irrisolta. Weinberger dice ancora che "... per quanti metadati espliciti si forniscano, non saranno mai suficienti. ... ...... ...
