A recent comment to this old blog post prompted my re-visit. 2.5 years ago, and still we are trying to convince non-users of the benefits of PLEs and 'educational/social' networking as pedagogically relevant.
I am also interested to note I seemed to have more time in 2006 to write 'erudite' blog posts than I do now....oh well...back to the flat world demands.....
This Ning has been setup as an educational network to join collaborating ITGS classrooms together in a flattened learning environment starting in August 2010.
"This group was born at ning.com and migrates to grou.ps in August of 2010. Its
members are situated globally but all share a mindset that embraces the
potential for shared sense of place at distance in the service of learning and
teaching. Please feel welcome to join and kindly note that inappropriate use of
this venue will result in your dismissal. Click ads and offers at your own discretion and risk."

AJET 26(3) Drexler (2010) -
Principles of networked learning, constructivism, and connectivism inform the design of a test case through which secondary students construct personal learning environments for the purpose of independent inquiry. Emerging web applications and open educational resources are integrated to support a Networked Student Model that promotes inquiry-based learning and digital literacy, empowers the learner, and offers flexibility as new technologies emerge. The Networked Student Model and a test case are described in detail along with implications and considerations for additional research. The article is meant to facilitate further discussion about K-12 student construction of personal learning environments and offer the practitioner a foundation on which to facilitate a networked learning experience. It seeks to determine how a teacher can scaffold a networked learning approach while providing a foundation on which students take more control of the learning process.
