  PersonalLearning

  • challenges faced by people joining digital personal learning spaces.
  • the introduction of the PLN must take into account individual and self.
  • 17 more annotations...
  • •  To make the experience valuable, participants need technical skills, social maturity, emotional stability, self-control, professionalism, empathy, critical thinking ability, and common sense.
    • conceptual understanding of social media
    • ability to select appropriate tools for individual situations
    • • Environment
    • consider
    • hysical spaces in which the work will occur, technical specifications, administrative support, and the design of the tools
    • It is worth the battle to convince others these barriers need to be removed
    • Technical Skills
    • We need to be aware of these people in our audience when presenting these tools, so we can offer solutions and help them get up to speed
    • Social Maturity

        this is debetable. I think social maturaty can be developed, but takes time, and personal willing and effort. I think people can actually enhance their social skills through written text - as it represent a more shielded channel to do that - and they might appreciate f2f and online exposure later on as they become more comfortable communicating. But of course, ppl who are reluntant to socialize will never see it as a useful thing. But those who are not so good at it (because they are shy, etc) they might find a way to "free" themselves from such complexities
    • Emotional Stability and Self Control
    • everyone already has a personal learning network

        sometimes we just don't see it this way. Educators and researchers see everything within their lines of research and educational theories.The rest of the world see it in a more pragmatic way. "J. might know about this, so he might be able to help me - I'll give him a ring..".the person isn't going to think they are going to contact someone within their PLE / PLN
    • It is usually comprised of people in their face to face world, along with some they connect with digitally
    • not everyone is able to recognize when they are learning
    • encouraging the individual to recognize their own learning and identify their existing network connections

        Metacognition - need to learn how to learn - it's more important then actually learning some static information that might not be of much value tomorrow. Learrning how to learn is a tool for the future
    • My final thought is that we cannot expect others to be able to make the types of connections we made in the field of educational technology

        also believe that in part ICT and LT belong to an elite, but things are changing slowly.I started as a language teacher, not as a LT, but languages is a special field, where communication comes natural. But in the space of a year I have withness a team of OTs coming together online. It's an emerging reality. Hopefully more disciplines will see this as the present/ future of their area.
    • I am searching for solutions to make this process more transferrable across disciplines and roles.
