Second Life for teachers
Personal Learning Network (PLN)
With the growth of the internet, technology and especially with web 2.0 tools it is now easier for each of us to build a unique online Personal Learning Network (PLN).
These networks often grow organically as we ourselves evolve both needs and skills ... with the increase in available information worldwide and easier access there comes a time when it's advisable to pause and reflect.
Not only is this an exercise in time management but also one related to keeping sane under the rapid growth of information available.
With this all in mind I created a webpage to quantify and visualise my own PLN.
http://www.shambles.net/csmith/pln
A large part of this includes a Second Life element ... highlighting some PLN elements I use in a virtual world.
It is critical for us to take control of our own learning ... lifelong learning ... we owe it to ourselves not only as a survival strategy but one that contributes to the quality of our own life and also those whose lives we touch and who, in turn, touch us.
The page in in DRAFT (beta?) ... and I'd really welcome comments and feed back .. I also hope there may be something in it that helps you or colleagues..
Have fun ....
