As I mentioned in class, our next meeting will be Aug. 1st. Your homework during this extended absence is to start developing your own Personal Learning Network (PLN).
- Create your Twitter account (if you’ve not do so already).
Get familiar with Twitter, posting / adding people to 'follow'.
- Identify and ‘follow’ at least 10 education related people / groups.
- Read, follow the developments / postings / ideas of the 10 people /groups and write at least 1 reflection per week. (Mon. - Sun.) Your reflection should be about 2 -3 paragraphs and discuss the content of the post, what it means to education / technology, and what / why you decided to write about it (why it has an impact on you.)
To find people on Twitter to follow, you can search for educators or technology, read about the person, and I'm sure they have a Twitter "follow me" link. You can also search within Twitter for people. Once you identify someone to follow, you can look at the list of people they follow...might lead to some interesting people.
You will have 5 postings, for these weeks:
- 1: June 27th - July 3rd.
- 2: July 4th - July 10th.
- 3: July 11th - July 17th.
- 4: July 18th - July 24th
- 5: July 25th - July 31st.
Have you 10 people and first posting completed by next Sunday, July 3rd. Your first post should include a list of the 10 people / groups you are following.
Hopefully, his assignment should be informative and interesting for you, building a network of people you can build ideas and learn more about education and educational technology.
Email, text, or Skype me if you have any questions.
Enjoy, see you August 1st!
Randy
