wireless network, cable network, communication technology, instant messaging,
is the typical application of micro blog. It allows the user to its latest news

Sue Waters said that "Personal learning network has a distinctly personal characteristics, so it is
very individual character. When creating your own PLN, the user must be used to
decide what tools, establish connection with someone, how to learn, and when to
study, etc. "Personal Learning network (PLN), is the application of all
such as blogs, wikis, twitter, facebook, networking tools created
for the purpose of Learning Personal network, use of the Personal network can
help us as a molecular study of the global community at the same time, to
strengthen the communication with others, to expand our space and time and
opportunity to learn and improve our reflection.Establish these contact, get a
lot of knowledge, it may make us feel excited, but absorb knowledge and used for
life, is the real purpose of establishing personal learning network.
What could Twitter or your PLN
contribute to your work in building knowledge?
I think both Twitter and PLN are
helps me to improve my knowledge, we are living in the networked society, we
cannot leave no network, we can learn more knowledge through the network. In
fact, in our reading a link on twitter, we will gradually accumulation of
knowledge. Web tools created for the purpose of learning personal network, use
of the personal network can help us as a molecular study of the global
community at the same time, to strengthen the communication with others, to
expand our space and time and opportunity to learn and improve our
reflection.PLN build is also can expand the scope of our study group, let us
can learn to different places on the Internet, the idea of different people. As
long as we can communicate through the network knowledge.
Fett Gail DE thinks, "personal learning environment is free to collect, publish, web-based tools, usually centered on the Blog, using an RSS reader and simple HTML collection of self-guided learning style."
Personal learning environment provides learners with not only a belongs to own personalized learning space, but also provides a way to connect with other learners, and makes the learners can share exchange together across time and space boundaries, make learning become more open. I will add this in my PLE, research train of thought for the center with real transition to the research train of thought for the center with system. From the research scope to expand, on the one hand, can be integrated with other learning environment study, at present about personal learning environment into the learning management system or the study of network course learning system has just beginning. On the other hand can go deep into the learning level study, and to explore its impact on learners' learning, and reveals the essence of learning and the function, meet the needs of learners and development. We live in a diverse world, need more understanding and learning, in order to better improve our PLE. When we are in the network learning and network knowledge classification yourself, actually we are learning about becoming a digital citizen.
Hey Meihong,
ReplyDeleteYou’ve provided great insight into the Twitter world – I’m not sure about you, but this was my first time “tweeting” and using “hashtags”, but I can definitely see how it allows you to expand your personal learning network, as you’ve mentioned – and in addition to the points you’ve given, I think it’s also beneficial to be using the hashtag ADED1P32 when posting informative findings that can be related back to this course. This way, all of the students are able to easily connect with each other and in turn, broaden their PLE. Also, to touch on your point of how this tool can affect who you are as a digital citizen, it is important to remember to use proper netiquette to ensure that you’re leaving behind a positive digital footprint when using social networking sites, such as this.
Thanks for sharing!
