How is it?
The fog is still at sea level. But I'm hearing others sounding off, so there is hope out there. Some are still at a distance but I can feel that others are close by.
I think at last I'm starting to get my mind around what links might look like. The links I'm starting to see are those that are between emerging learning technologies (Web 2.0 and stuff) and social learning theories.
Have been doing a fair bit, to say the least, of surfing the net, talking to colleges, and doind alot of self reflecting, in an attempt to paint a picture in my mind that starts to make sense. This picture, an artwork on the canvas, is to have the back ground (personal teaching framework) , which at the moment I intend to title 'Education".
Remember I am still at sea, in fog. For you that have experienced this, you will know what I mean when I say that my awareness his heightened and all my senses are on alert. I have plotted a course and this is being logged.
I have started to make sense of these links by using some of the technology available on the Web (Web 2.0). For a long time now I have been very keen on mind mapping. Several applications are excellent but I have chosen one named "Mindmiester". As I'm try to think of the reasons why I chose this, collaboration springs to mind. This is a link. I am aware that when I establish a link, I also should make sense of this. I am creating this blog as I read articals on various topics, one of my tutors reminded me, by a blog, that I need to reference these articals, so I went off to the library last week and picked up a CD. This is so that I can download "Endnote" onto my computer. aparently Endnote makes life easy... not so, I say at the moment, as when I explained, to a techO that I had a CD to install, but was not too sure on how to do this, they offered to help watch over my shoulder as I had a go... all good stuff but... the CD was an old version... so back to the library... my body language must of explained all because on being issued with the latest version I over heard the librarian saying that she would remove the old one from the system... not much time wasted, but a good example of mice and men... This is a link. Keep all software up to date.
