Emphasising the artistic worth of an apparently dreary job, Tom encourages his friends to participate in a way in which they all benefit

Why build an online learning network?

My students are spread geographically, and I want to maintain contact in between block-release classes at TAFE.
I also want students to learn how to present themselves online in a global context.
Doing this also gives students a chance to connect with each other, maintaining their own network and extending it around Australia and to other countries.

Using online social network tools, I collaborate with fellow educators around the world, in different contexts.

I build my own teaching and learning capacity. Students build themselves a portfolio of their own work, displayed publicly to future employers.

I’d like to introduce you to how I’m using Google, Del.icio.us, Flickr and Ning to build online learning networks.
This is not a shopping list of Web 2.0 sites, merely four online tools that I’m using to connect with students, their employers and my colleagues.
After I’ve showed you what I’m doing, we’ll discuss how the Eastern Institute of Technology could benefit from teachers using these tools.

A Gmail account is the key to Google’s many tools

Gmail is the best way to set up free Web 2.0 accounts (such as in Del.icio.us, Flickr and Ning) as well as Google’s tools
