What is a Personal Learning Network/Environment? - Technology Enhanced Learning In preparation for Learning at Work Week (19th-25th May), and the TEL team sharing a series of blog posts on our favourite technology for engaging with our Personal Learning Network, so we thought it would be a good idea to explain what a Personal Learning Network and Environment is… Personal learning environments (PLEs) are environments where the learner can access and share a range of tools and services in an integrated way for supporting their own needs. These environments have evolved from the VLE and MLE developments of the past as well as building upon new tools e.g. social software. Together they offer greater opportunities for personalisation. PLEs may include: social software, integrated tools and user modelled services. Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) are deliberately formed networks of people and resources capable of guiding our independent learning goals and professional development needs. With the easy availability of online tools, people are now doing their own thing.
Defining Inquiry Learning: Part 1 | macfrit7234 The above “Tagul” word cloud is a visual definition of what “Inquiry Learning” looks like through my eyes. I placed it in the shape of a checkmark since I think that is what most of us as students look for to show we are on the right track. However, when you look at some of the words I have used as descriptives being correct or right doesn’t necessarily fall into place. One of the main things I have learned over the course of the last couple of weeks is that inquiry-based learning is about the process maybe even more than the final product. I think as teachers we don’t have much of a problem with #1 and #2, but when it comes to #3 we kind of take a step back.

What is a Personal Learning Network? transcript In this section we focus on how networks that connect you to people and tools can potentially help you succeed in your learning. The ideas and tools in all these sections can be useful in a wide range of learning situations.

When you take a course online, the VLE is already provided for you.
10 steps to erase your digital footprint MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ are social media websites that can be mined by potential employers for personal information. If privacy settings are not at their highest, this could mean viewers can access pictures, posts and status updates best kept within your private life. One thing to remember is that the Web often forgets about context -- and so Tweets can be misconstrued, events from years ago can end up hampering your prospects, and your profile may not show you to be the type of person a company would want to hire. In relation to accounts you actively use, check your privacy settings. For Facebook, head over to account settings through the top-right button, and then select 'privacy' from the menu on the left. You can then decide who can see what information is posted -- and whether you can be looked up based on your email address, phone number or search engines.
Connecting Content Curation with Your Personal Learning Network | SparkWorks At ASTD TechKnowledge 2014, David Kelly gave a presentation on curation called “Putting Curation to Work at Your Organization”. Curation is the process by which individuals gather, analyze and share out information in the digital era.

In the curation process, the resources must be: Critically appraised – but analysis is limited when it happens in a vacuum! Arguably, a professional learner should be trusted to critically appraise and refine the resources to their own context. PLN Brings Professionalism to the Curation Process The Fear of Sharing Curated Resources In The Workplace
