The acronym PLN (personal learning network) was new for me as well as web 2.0. In a way, I already use some of the web tools. I have used blogger, youtube, myspace. I have used blogger for educational purposes which have helped me learn to create it and use it. PLN can be defined as a strategy to create one’s own learning. Throughout this, we can start not only socializing but also commenting about educational topics or themes of or interest. I’m pretty sure students would like to have web 2.0 tools in the class. However, I would have first become adept to these tools to use them appropriately and usefully in my class. Some of the tools I would start are: twitter (it’s kind of the trend right now), metacafe (to get to know each other out of the classroom). Nevertheless, I still have to plan the way I can use them so that it works out. It may not be really difficult to be part of the outline PLN, but still I consider it a challenge, so I’m excited about it

Malu,
ResponderEliminarI totally agree with you about first understanding how these tools work and what their full potential is before deciding to integrate them in the classroom. If you wish, I can help you set a twitter account, because I have one and I use it all the time.
Alex.
