Just had to post this. Is is a taster session for www.vitae-project.eu. (by foxdenuk)
Web2 for experience based learning
Is is a great example of:
a) mashing up various online tools for educational purposes (I found the presentation on their Ning community, the presentation itself is on Slide Boom, Graham Atwell’s video about personal learning environments is on youtube)
b) active, online, experience based learning – that leaves the learner with control over the artifacts they produce as part of the learning.
Blogging & Social Networking – Some thoughts about the social and educational potential for distance learning students
Published December 11, 2008 21stCenturySkills , Digital Literacy 1 CommentTags: blogging, social networking
Embedded is the presentation that I gave today to a group of distance learning teachers at the Univeristy. It tries to give a brief overview of some of the lit related to this area and to start some discussion about how these technologies can be used in their learning designs.
It will be interesting to hear their stories as (or if?) these these technologies gain traction. Thanks to the participants with whom I enjoyed a great discussion about these issues.
Any comments or suggestions from today’s audience (or eleswhere) greatly appreciated
